This book was released on 2017-11-26 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the winter of 1881, up-and-coming Swedish soprano, Christine Daaé, disappears from the stage of the Opéra Garnier during the finale of "Faust" and is never heard from again. The next morning the boots and top hat of her childhood friend, the Vicomte de Chagny, are found near a secret trap door behind stage. The young aristocrat is never seen again, and his brother's body is found on the shores of an underground lake -- drowned. At the time the opera was hounded by rumors of a ghost who lurked in the cellars, claimed box five as his own, and demanded a princely salary from the frustrated managers. But any haunting ended that night, and the mysterious Phantom disappeared as completely as the soprano and the vicomte. What actually happened in Paris during the winter of 1881? While the Phantom may be fictitious, his legacy -- like that of Sherlock Holmes or Dracula -- has made him larger than life. Gaston Leroux's Gothic novel remains simultaneously one of the most popular horror stories and love stories in world fiction. Built on a foundation of mythology, fairy tales, history, scandal, and social commentary, its themes of hatred and fear, desire and love speak to readers of any era. Filmed dozens of times, the story of the disfigured genius has been immortalized by Lon Chaney, Claude Rains, Herbert Lom, Charles Dance, Michael Crawford, and Gerard Butler. From silent film to Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical, it has captured imaginations with its Gothic glamour, romance, horror, and pathos. This collector's edition of Leroux's novel is a must-have for the story's many "phans." Complete with an expanded introduction, hundreds of notes, ravishing illustrations, and detailed commentary, it will answer questions that have plagued readers for decades: what caused Erik's deformity? Was Christine Daaé based on a real person? What historical accident inspired the chandelier disaster? How much is 20,000 francs in modern currency? Answers to these questions and more -- including eight pages of restored text left out of the ubiquitous 1911 translation -- are waiting for you inside.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1910, the mystery novelist Gaston Leroux, working from scraps of history, theatrical lore, and his own fertile imagination, created a masterpiece in Le fantôme de l’opéra, the story of a disfigured composer who lives in the labyrinthine depths of the Paris Opera. After the breathtaking debut of Christine Daaé, the whispers of an Opera ghost seem to become reality as the young singer vanishes. As the Phantom strikes again and again, targeting foes from a jealous diva to a romantic rival, Leroux spins a thriller of obsession and violence with, at its center, a tormented murderer who awakens our deepest fears and sympathies. The inspiration for Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running musical, Leroux’s novel is still more riveting than anything Broadway could produce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 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."

Her old childhood friend, Raoul, hears her sing and recalls his love for Christine. At this time, there are rumors of a phantom living at the Opera and he makes himself known to the managers through letters and malevolent acts. Some time after the gala, the Paris Opera performs Faust, with the prima donna Carlotta playing the lead, against the Phantom's wishes. During the performance, Carlotta loses her voice and the grand chandelier plummets into the audience. Christine is kidnapped by the phantom and is taken to his home in the cellars of the Opera where he identifies himself as Erik. He plans to keep her there for a few days, hoping she will come to love him. But she causes Erik to change his plans when she unmasks him and, to the horror of both, beholds his noseless, lipless, sunken-eyed face which resembles a skull dried up by the centuries, covered in yellowed dead flesh. Fearing that she will leave him, he decides to keep her with him forever, but when Christine requests release after two weeks, he agrees on condition that she wear his ring and be faithful to him.
