Book excerpt: The world-famous locked-room mystery from a master of detective fiction 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. At a loss, the chief of the Sûreté telegraphs for the famous detective Frédéric Larsan to be assigned to the seemingly unsolvable case.

Book excerpt: Une édition de référence du Mystère de la chambre jaune de Gaston Leroux, spécialement conçue pour la lecture sur les supports numériques. « "Est-ce qu’elle va encore nous empêcher de dormir, cette nuit ?" pensai-je, car il faut que je vous dise, monsieur, que, jusqu’à fin octobre, j’habite dans le grenier du pavillon, au-dessus de la chambre jaune, à seule fin que mademoiselle ne reste pas seule toute la nuit au fond du parc. C’est une idée de mademoiselle de passer la bonne saison dans le pavillon ; elle le trouve sans doute plus gai que le château et, depuis quatre ans qu’il est construit, elle ne manque jamais de s’y installer dès le printemps. Quand revient l’hiver, mademoiselle retourne au château, car dans la chambre jaune, il n’y a point de cheminée. » (Extrait du chapitre 1.)

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.

Download or read book Le Myst re de la chambre jaune written by Gaston Leroux and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-02-05 with total page 312 pages. 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.
Download or read book French Crime Fiction written by Claire Gorrara and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first English-language studies to chart the development of crime fiction in French from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. It analyses the distinctive features of a French-language tradition and introduces readers to a rich and varied body of work. Each chapter examines a specific period, movement or group of writers, as well as engaging with wider debates on the place of crime fiction within contemporary French and European culture. From early twentieth-century pioneers, such as Gaston Leroux and Maurice Leblanc, to the phenomenal success of Georges Simenon, from May 68 to the gender politics of crime fiction and postmodern reinventions, this collection approaches crime fiction in an interdisciplinary manner, alive to the innovative and often critically informed perspective it provides on French society and culture. The book also includes short extracts in English translation and an extensive bibliography of critical material for further reading. Such resources are aimed at encouraging the reader to gain a greater appreciation and understanding of this potent and formidable narrative of modern times.

Download or read book Optiques written by Andrea Goulet and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrea Goulet takes the study of the novel into the realm of the visual by situating it in the context of nineteenth-century scientific and philosophical discourse about the nature of sight. She argues that French realism, detective fiction, science fiction, and literature of the fantastic from 1830 to 1910 reflected competition between two modern visual modes: a not-yet-outdated idealism and an empiricism that located truth in the body. More specifically, the book argues that key narrative forms of the nineteenth century were shaped by a set of scientific debates: between idealism and materialism in Honoré Balzac's Comédie humaine, between deduction and induction in early French detective fiction, and between objective vision and subjective vision in the "optogram" fictions of Jules Verne and others. Goulet aims to revise critical views on the modern novel in a number of ways. For instance, although many literary studies focus on the impact of cinema, photography, and painting, Optiques asserts the materialist bases of realism by establishing a genealogy of popular fictional genres as fundamentally optical, that is, as articulated according to bodily notions of sight. With its chronological and interdisciplinary scope, Optiques stands to contribute an important chapter to the study of literary modernity in its scientific context.
Download or read book Le Fant me de l Op ra by Gaston Leroux written by Laura Paola Pellegrini and published by LED Edizioni Universitarie. This book was released on 2012-04-27T00:00:00+02:00 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le Fantôme de l’Opéra is a multifaceted novel. It is a gothic novel, because it speaks of obscure presences, sadows, ghosts, fate and magic; it is a romantic novel, just as Gaston Leroux’s indolence was romantic, leading the author to a certain gloomy and bittersweet melancholy; it is a decadent novel, because its protagonist is a real dandy, theatrical and excessively elegant, who loves to surround himself with baroque furnishings, mirrors, velvet and gold, just as Wilde or Huysmans would have liked; it is a symbolist novel, filled with countless metaphors dear to fairy-tale narrative, such as the key, the ring, the kiss, the lake, the river; it is a surrealist novel, as Jean Cocteau declared, since it tells of dreams, vast and obsessive spaces, as in Louis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland; it is a modern novel that narrates the voyage into the inner depths of ourselves, connected to the world of Psychoanalysis and to Sigmund Freud; it is a detective novel, for the language of investigation that appears in certain passages and for its myriad of mysterious crimes; it is a love story that tells of an unhappy, unrequited passion. Le Fantôme de l’Opéra is a novel that contains many novels and many styles, and that touches us deeply because it speaks of emotions and feelings. It is a popular novel that tells stories about each one of us, even if these stories seem incredible. It is an extraordinary novel that inspired many other works: novels, films, television programs, circus performances, ice-skating phantasmagoria. It inspired these from its first appearance in 1910, to this day, and will continue to inspire others in years to come.
