Description

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux is a gripping tale of love and mystery set against the backdrop of the Paris Opera House. A mysterious figure, known only as the Phantom, haunts the opera's depths, falling passionately in love with a beautiful singer named Christine Daaé. As the story unfolds, the Phantom's true identity is revealed, and Christine must confront her feelings for him despite his disfiguring appearance. Leroux's thrilling narrative weaves together elements of mystery, crime, adventure, and romance, creating a captivating tale that has enthralled readers since its first publication in 1910. This new translation by David Coward brings the original story to life with its full-blooded and sensational storytelling, accompanied by expert notes and an introduction that explores the novel's genesis and literary craft.
