Prosper Mérimée Volgorde van de boeken
Prosper Mérimée, een Franse dramaturgoog en schrijver, was gefascineerd door mystiek, geschiedenis en het ongewone, geïnspireerd door historische fictie en psychologisch drama. Zijn verhalen ontvouwen zich vaak als mysteries die zich afspelen op sfeervolle buitenlandse locaties, met name Spanje en Rusland. Naast zijn fictie was Mérimée instrumenteel in het introduceren van de Russische literatuur bij Europese lezers door middel van zijn vertalingen. Zijn scherpe archeologische blik en diepe waardering voor geschiedenis en kunst worden weerspiegeld in zijn wetenschappelijke rapporten en zijn onderscheidend opgestelde verhalen.
