Mérimée

Some account of the vendetta should not be omitted and illustrations from Prosper Mérimée's "Colomba" may be read aloud.

As for extracts from these fascinating forgeries, the letters should be read in conjunction with those of Mérimée himself.

It is this precise style that Maupassant exhibits but coupled with a clarity, an ease, and a grace that Mérimée could not boast.

Mérimée's novels or tales form a small part of his whole work.

And to the understanding I must have already spoken the name of Prosper Mérimée.
