Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Mystère de la chambre jaune est un roman policier de Gaston Leroux, paru en 1907. Il s'agit de la première aventure du jeune reporter Joseph Rouletabille. Publiée pour la première fois en douze livraisons dans le supplément littéraire de L'Illustration du 7 septembre au 30 novembre 1907, l'œuvre est reprise en volume non illustré en janvier 1908 chez Pierre Lafitte ; l'année suivante, face au succès, une nouvelle édition ressort illustrée par Édouard Loëvy et José Simont1. Il s'agit de l'un des modèles des romans dits d'« énigme en chambre close ». « Leroux, qui voulait faire mieux que Conan Doyle et plus complet que Poe, a construit une intrigue à la rigueur géométrique qui sera admirée par Agatha Christie »2. Par le truchement d'Hercule Poirot, la romancière anglaise fait l'éloge du roman de Gaston Leroux dans Les Pendules. Dans Trois cercueils se refermeront de l'auteur américain et grand spécialiste des énigmes de chambre close John Dickson Carr, c'est au tour du Dr Gideon Fell de rendre hommage à l'œuvre de Leroux. Mais au-delà de son intrigue, le grand succès remporté par Le Mystère de la chambre jaune tient également aux quelques éléments poétiques, voire absurdes, qui émaillent le récit et furent encensés par les surréalistes et par Jean Cocteau, auteur pour le roman de Leroux d'une préface dithyrambique.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Un soir d'octobre 1892, au château du Glandier, peu après minuit, tandis que le professeur Stangerson travaille dans son laboratoire en compagnie de son serviteur, il entend, dans la chambre attenante, les appels au secours de sa fille. Tous les deux se précipitent, mais la porte est fermée de l'intérieur, comme les volets de l'unique fenêtre. Lorsqu'ils découvrent la jeune femme qui râle sur le plancher, il ne reste de l'assassin que la marque, sur le mur, d'une main ensanglantée - et le revolver du serviteur : meurtre incompréhensible, dont le reporter Joseph Rouletabille va pourtant percer le mystère. De ce roman paru en feuilleton en 1907, Hercule Poirot, en connaisseur, dira que c'est « un véritable chef-d'oeuvre ». Mais ce qui pour nous, aujourd'hui, fait également la singularité du livre, c'est sa manière de mêler au roman policier les ressources du feuilleton et le charme du roman d'aventures. Dans cette enquête sur « un crime surnaturel », c'est bien en tout cas le mystère qui domine."--leslibraires.ca.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like The Mystery of the Yellow Room, The Secret of the Night is a Joseph Rouletabille mystery. In The Mystery of the Yellow Room fictional detective Rouletabille investigated a complex and seemingly impossible crime - in which the criminal appears to disappear from a locked room! There've been so many locked-room mysteries since that it's become a subgenre - but there are folks who believe Gaston Leroux invented the form. (We hate assertions like that. Have you noticed how often things turn out to have been invented by monks in the middle ages, or by prehistoric Chinamen, or seventeenth-century Englishmen? - Heavy sigh.) John Dickson Carr, the master of locked-room mystery, named The Mystery of the Yellow Room as the "finest locked room tale ever written" in his 1935 novel the Hollow Man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mystery of the Yellow Room By Gaston Leroux Le mystère de la chambre jaune Full English Translation Brand New Edition The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Gaston Leroux, is one of the first locked-room mystery crime fiction novels. It was first published in France in the periodical L'Illustration from September 1907 to November 1907, then in its own right in 1908. It is the first novel starring fictional reporter Joseph Rouletabille and concerns a complex, and seemingly impossible, crime in which the criminal appears to disappear from a locked room. Leroux provides the reader with detailed, precise diagrams and floorplans illustrating the crime scene. The emphasis of the story is firmly on the intellectual challenge to the reader, who will almost certainly be hard pressed to unravel every detail of the situation. The novel finds its continuation in The Perfume of the Lady in Black, wherein a number of the characters familiar from this story reappear. Reporter and amateur sleuth Joseph Rouletabille is sent to investigate a criminal case at the Château du Glandier and takes along his friend the lawyer Sainclair, who narrates. Mathilde Stangerson, the 30-something daughter of the castle's owner, Professor Joseph Stangerson, was found near-critically battered in a room adjacent to his laboratory on the castle grounds, with the door still locked from the inside. She recovers slowly but can make no useful testimony. Rouletabille meets and interrogates several characters: the castle's concierges Mr & Mrs Bernier, the old servant Jacques, an unfriendly inn landlord and a womanising gamekeeper, and begins a friendly rivalry with France's top police detective Frederic Larsan, who has been assigned the case. Larsan suspects Ms Stangerson's fiancé, another scientist called Robert Darzac, to Rouletabille's dismay. More attempts are made on Ms Stangerson's life despite Rouletabille and Larsan's protection, and the perpetrator appears to vanish on two occasions when they are closing in on him, echoing Professor's Stangerson's research into "matter dissociation". The game-keeper is murdered during the second attempt. Ultimately, Larsan arrests Darzac who is charged with murder attempts. Rouletabille suspects that Darzac has secret reasons not to defend himself and he disappears to make further investigations. Two-and-a-half months later, as Darzac's trial opens, Rouletabille reappears sensationally and tells the court that the culprit is Frederic Larsan himself, whom he accuses of being an alter-ego of a master criminal called Ballmeyer. Larsan appeared to vanish on the two occasions he was nearly collared as he was one of the pursuers. Darzac is released when it emerges that Larsan has vanished after Rouletabille warned him he would accuse him in court. The mystery of the locked Yellow Room is explained thus: Larsan assaulted Ms Stangerson earlier in the day than originally thought, but she hid the traces of the attack and locked herself. During the night, traumatised by the event, she fell off her bed and inflicted the gravest of the wounds by hitting her temple on the corner of her bed-side table.

Book excerpt: The Mystery of the Yellow Room A frightful act of malice committed in Paris: the dastardly attempted assassination of the daughter of a famed scientist who was working late in his laboratory with an assistant when the attack took place in the adjacent room. A locked chamber, windows barred, no one hiding inside. The poor young lady unconscious, covered with blood, violent marks on her throat, and a wound at her temple. The scientist’s revolver removed from its cabinet and sealed in the room with her. The only trace of her assailant is a large, bloody handprint on the wall. The Mystery of the Yellow Room At a loss, the chief of the Sûreté telegraphs for the famous detective Frédéric Larsan to be assigned to the seemingly unsolvable case. A genre-defining novel, The Mystery of the Yellow Room follows the investigation step by step, with thorough descriptions of the crime scene to allow the reader access to the same opaque clues to the crime that the detectives have. The Mystery of the Yellow Room This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. The Mystery of the Yellow Room The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1908) is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. Originally serialized in L’Illustration from September to November 1907, The Mystery of the Yellow Room marked the first appearance of popular character Joseph Rouletabille, a reporter and part-time sleuth who features in several of Leroux’s novels. Originally a journalist, Leroux turned to fiction after reading the works of Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe. Often considered one of the best locked-room mysteries of all time, the novel has been adapted several times for film and television. Joseph Rouletabille is more than meets the eye. A reporter by profession, he spends his free time working as an amateur detective, using his journalistic talents to compile facts and track down leads. When the young daughter of a prominent professor is found badly beaten in a locked room at the Château du Glandier, Roulebatille sets out to investigate with his trusted assistant Sainclair. After conducting interviews with several members of the castle staff, he is told that France’s top detective Frédéric Larsan has been assigned to the case. Larson soon names Robert Darzac, Ms. Stangerson’s fiancé, as his primary suspect. Having already ruled Darzac out, Roulebatille begins to grow suspicious when the man is arrested and seems hesitant to defend himself. Working behind the scenes, the unassuming sleuth must race against time to prove Darzac’s innocence and stop Ms. Stangerson’s attacker from finishing what he started. The Mystery of the Yellow Room is a story of danger and suspense from one of history’s finest detective novelists. Joseph Rouletabille is without a doubt France’s answer to Sherlock Holmes. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Gaston Leroux’s The Mystery of the Yellow Room is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
