Prosper Merimee 
Etruscan Vase [EPUB ebook] 

A classic piece of French short fiction, ‚The Etruscan Vase‘ is here presented alongside three other stories: ‚The Vision of Charles XI‘, a dark tale of premonition set in the Swedish royal palace, ‚Tamango‘, an account of a slave-ship revolt, and ‚The Blue Room‘, a supernatural farce and one of Merimee’s final works; as well as two non-fiction pieces: ‚A Hanging‘, a description of a real-life public execution, and ‚H.B.‘ a tribute to the writer Stendhal.
