L'oeuvre de Prosper Mérimée est très imprégnée de thématiques qui le passionnaient: l'histoire et sa fiction (à l'image de Walter Scott), le mysticisme, le fantastique, le surnaturel... mais aussi les drames et dérives psychologiques. On comprendra donc son attrait pour l'écriture d'Alexandre Pouchkine. De même, ses nombreux voyages ont modelé les cadres de ses fictions, en particulier la Russie et l'Espagne. On retrouve parfois certains détails se référant à ses propres déplacements, comme le fait de dessiner dans certains lieux (lui-même était attaché aux dessins des Chats). L'archéologie et l'Antiquité sont également des thèmes majeurs et récurrents dans ses écrits. La force de l'oeuvre de Mérimée repose à la fois sur la dynamique de ses récits, leur élégance et leur sobriété, mais aussi sur toutes ces références, ces univers qui viennent donner une profondeur passionnante à ses récits. Notons enfin la place particulière de la Vénus d'Ille, oeuvre fantastique déterminante dans l'histoire du genre littéraire.

Le narrateur apprend de son guide la découverte d'une statue maléfique, dont l'érection a causé la blessure d'un ouvrier. Bien reçu par son hôte, antiquaire disert et imaginatif qui vient de faire un mémoire sur la découverte de cette Vénus, il apprend en outre qu'il devra assister au mariage d'Alphonse, le fils de celui-ci. Avant de se mettre au lit, il voit avec amusement un galopin lancer une pierre sur la statue puis gémir de l'avoir reçue en retour, par ricochet...

Je descendais le dernier coteau du Canigou, et, bien que le soleil fût déjà couché, je distinguais dans la plaine les maisons de la petite ville d'Ille, vers laquelle je me dirigeais.

This is the first complete English-language translation of La Guzla, ou Choix de poésies illyriques recueillies dans la Dalmatie, la Bosnie, la Croatie et l'Herzégowine, which presents a collection of folk literature from the former Illyrian Provinces. Or does it? It contains short pieces drawing from various genres-ersatz scholarly essays, ballad lyrics presented in the form of prose poems, folk tales, a fragment of a stage play-all generously peppered with footnotes explaining the historical and sociological context of these "discoveries."First published in 1827, La Guzla purported to be a collection of folktales, ballad lyrics, and travel narratives compiled and translated into French by an anonymous traveler returning from the Balkans. Before long, though, it was revealed that both the stories and their "translator" were the fictional creations of a young civil servant, Prosper Mérimée, who would later become one of the most accomplished French writers of his generation. In these dramatic tales of love, war, and encounters with the supernatural, Mérimée has given us both a treasure trove of "fakelore" and a satirical portrait of a self-appointed expert blissfully unaware of how little he understands the cultures he claims to represent.

Le professeur Wittembach, philosophe allemand, se rend en Lituanie pour ses recherches. Il est reçu dans le château du comte Michel Szémioth dont la mère est devenue folle au lendemain de son mariage, après qu'un ours, lors d'une chasse, l'eut emportée «sans doute pour aller la dévorer tout à son aise dans un fourré». Le jeune comte, qui s'est d'abord caché dans un arbre pour observer le savant, reçoit fort bien ce dernier, et lui raconte la mystification dont il a été l'objet de la part d'une charmante jeune fille, Ioulka Iwinska... Mérimée reprend, dans cette nouvelle, la légende de l'hommeours attestée dans bien des traditions, et qu'il a pu découvrir dans les de Saxo Grammaticus ou dans les de Bandello traduites par Belleforest.

" Dans un monde qui est bien le nôtre, celui que nous connaissons sans diables, ni vampires, il se produit un événement qui ne peut s'expliquer par les lois de ce même monde familier. Le lecteur peut se dire ou bien il s'agit d'une illusion des sens, ou bien l'événement a véritablement eu lieu. Il se caractérise par l'irruption brutale et menaçante du surnaturel. A la différence du récit de science -fiction, le récit fantastique ne donne pas au lecteur la possibilité d'expliquer le phénomène; il se termine par un point d'interrogation qui prolonge le trouble."
