Story0
Un guerrier noir qui livre ses frères aux marchands de bois d'ébène s'emporte, ivre, contre sa femme, et la livre au capitaine d'un négrier ; dégrisé, il rejoint le navire pour la délivrer, est lui-même fait prisonnier et prend la tête d'une mutinerie dont l'issue sera tragique. Le thème de la traite des esclaves africains est très en vogue à l'époque où l'auteur rédige Tamango, et un grand nombre d'écrivains et de sociétés s'en émeuvent. Cette nouvelle décrit les coutumes des Africains, conte la révolte des noirs... le tout peint à la manière de Delacroix !

Story0
There are stories that strike like a bullet—swift, precise, and inescapable. Mateo Falcone is one of them. In the sun-scorched Corsican wilderness, where honor is measured in blood and a man's word is as unyielding as the mountains, a moment of hesitation can seal one's fate. A fugitive seeking refuge, a child faced with an impossible choice, a father whose sense of justice knows no mercy—Mérimée paints a world where tradition rules with an iron grip, and betrayal, no matter how small, does not go unanswered.

Story0
Un père tue son fils après que celui-ci s'est laissé subordonner et a livré un voleur à la police. Le devoir et l'amour, la malice de l'enfance et la loi inflexible du clan s'y affrontent tragiquement. Cette nouvelle de 1829 a vu le jour dix ans avant le premier voyage de Mérimée en Corse. Pour l'élaborer, l'auteur devait s'inspirer d'un récit fort répandu et plusieurs fois rapporté par écrit, partie prenante enfin, d'une certaine « légende corse ».
