Book excerpt: New Larger Print, 15 point fontPrologue : IN WHICH THE AUTHOR OF THIS SINGULAR WORK INFORMS THE READER HOW HE ACQUIRED THE CERTAINTY THAT THE OPERA GHOSTREALLY EXISTEDThe Opera ghost really existed. He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade. When I began to ransack the archives of the National Academy of Music I was at once struck by the surprising coincidences between the phenomena ascribed to the "ghost" and the most extraordinary and fantastic tragedy that ever excited the Paris upper classes; and I soon conceived the idea that this tragedy might reasonably be explained by the phenomena in question. The events do not date more than thirty years back; and it would not be difficult to find at the present day, in the foyer of the ballet, old men of the highest respectability, men upon whose word one could absolutely rely, who would remember as though they happened yesterday the mysterious and dramatic conditions that attended the kidnapping of Christine Daae, the disappearance of the Vicomte de Chagny and the death of his elder brother, Count Philippe, whose body was found on the bank of the lake that exists in the lower cellars of the Opera on the Rue-Scribe side. But none of those witnesses had until that day thought that there was any reason for connecting the more or less legendary figure of the Opera ghost with that terrible story. The truth was slow to enter my mind, puzzled by an inquiry that at every moment was complicated by events which, at first sight, might be looked upon as superhuman; and more than once I was within an ace of abandoning a task in which I was exhausting myself in the hopeless pursuit of a vain image. At last, I received the proof that my presentiments had not deceived me, and I was rewarded for all my efforts on the day when I acquired the certainty that the Opera ghost was more than a mere shade. I was immensely interested by this story of the Persian. I wanted, if there were still time, to find this valuable and eccentric witness. My luck began to improve and I discovered him in his little flat in the Rue de Rivoli, where he had lived ever since and where he died five months after my visit. I was at first inclined to be suspicious; but when the Persian had told me, with child-like candor, all that he knew about the ghost and had handed me the proofs of the ghost's existence¿including the strange correspondence of Christine Daae¿to do as I pleased with, I was no longer able to doubt. No, the ghost was not a myth!

Book excerpt: Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist, detective and novelist. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fant?'me de l'Opera, 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name, such as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney; and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. Leroux went to school in Normandy and studied law in Paris, graduating in 1889. Then in 1890, he began working as a court reporter and theatre critic for L'Echo de Paris. His most important journalism came when he began working as an international correspondent for the Paris newspaper Le Matin. In 1905 he was present at and covered the Russian Revolution. He suddenly left journalism in 1907, and began writing fiction. He first wrote a mystery novel entitled Le Mystere de la Chambre Jaune (1908; The Mystery of the Yellow Room), starring the amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille. Leroux's contribution to French detective fiction is considered a parallel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's in the United Kingdom and Edgar Allan Poe's in America.

Book excerpt: GASTON LEROUX (1868-1927) est né à Paris, mais il grandit en Normandie et c ́est au lycée de Caen qu ́il obtiendra son baccalauréat de lettres. Ensuite il revient à Paris pour devenir avocat en 1890, métier qu ́il exercera pendant trois ans, tout en rédigeant des comptes rendus de procès pour « L ́Écho de Paris », puis au « Matin ». Dans le premier il publia avec grand succès « Le mystère de la chambre jaune ». Lorsque paraissent en 1909 les premiers épisodes du « Fantôme de l'Opéra » dans les colonnes du quotidien « Le Gaulois », Gaston Leroux est déjà en pleine gloire littéraire. Son personnage Joseph Rouletabille, jeune apprenti reporter à l'intelligence déductive hors du commun, qui apparaît pour la première fois dans « Le Mystère de la chambre jaune », devient le héros d'autres romans tels que « Le Parfum de la dame en noir », « Rouletabille chez le Tsar » et « Le Crime de Rouletabille ». En bon journaliste, lorsqu'il écrit « Le Fantôme de l'Opéra », il sait un élément méconnu de la plupart des parisiens : une rivière souterraine traverse la capitale, la Grange Batelière, qui a causé bien du souci aux constructeurs du métropolitain et qui passe non loin de l'Opéra Garnier, dans le IXe arrondissement, un monument envoutant qui peut cacher une mine de mystère.

Download or read book The Phantom of the Opera written by Gaston Leroux and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On September 23, 1909, the Parisian daily newspaper, Le Gaulois, published its first installment of Gaston Leroux's Le Fantôme de l'Opéra (The Phantom of the Opera). This type of serialized publication, in France called a “feuilleton,” was common from the middle of the 19th century through the beginning of the 20th century. Many authors of the day published their novels section by section in newspapers to gain readership and to work out ideas before the publication of the first edition. Between the newspaper printing and the first edition, it was common for chapters to be added, rewritten, or removed as part of the editing process. In the feuilleton of Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, Gaston Leroux wrote a chapter called “L'enveloppe magique” (“The Magic Envelope”). Leroux decided to omit this chapter from his first edition, and so it only appeared in Le Gaulois. Since the feuilleton has never been translated, few people apart from the most dedicated Phantom enthusiasts are familiar with this lost chapter. For the first time, the text of “The Magic Envelope” has been translated into English so that fans of The Phantom of the Opera can read this forgotten gem. This chapter provides explanations for several enigmas that have puzzled readers since Leroux's first edition, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into the writing process of one of France's literary icons.

Book excerpt: This thesis aims to provide a critical account of Gaston Leroux?s Le Fant?me de l?Op?ra (1910), which has become one of the most enduring and visible of modern myths. Leroux?s text discloses anxieties about a rapidly changing world, and these anxieties manifest themselves artistically in a simultaneous fascination and horror with the emerging episteme. Leroux?s story subsequently took on a life of its own in popular culture, yet, this thesis argues, many of these adaptations remain bound up in the same issues of futurity and dichotomies of masculinity, as well as concerns about the role of the artist in determining the values of his society.
