The novel that inspired the Lon Chaney film and the hit musical. "The wildest and most fantastic of tales."--New York Times Book Review.

Uma criatura enigmática e mascarada perambula pela Ópera de Paris, levantando rumores entre os artistas e funcionários que ali frequentam. Acontecimentos assustadores fazem com que a direção do teatro considere que um Fantasma realmente assombra o lugar. A misteriosa figura mascarada passa a visitar Christine Daaé, uma jovem cantora lírica, e dá a ela lições de canto, planejando transformá-la na prima-dona da Ópera de Paris e seduzi-la. A jovem acredita que a voz que ouve é do Anjo da Música que a fará triunfar e então sela com ele um pacto. Terror, ciúmes, traição e tragédia, permeiam a relação do gênio da música e Christine.

La Maison des Juges, c'est la demeure de la famille Lamarque. Depuis de longues générations, les Lamarque occupent de hautes fonctions dans la magistrature. Ils sont l'honneur du Palais. Louis Lamarque, qui a une soixantaine d'années, préside une chambre de la Cour de cassation. Son fils Jean est avocat général à Paris ; le cadet, Marie-Louis est substitut à Melun. Le père de Louis Lamarque a cent ans ; il vit confiné dans son appartement comme le burgrave Job dans sa tour. On le voit rarement ; on l'entend marcher de long en large dans sa chambre comme Jean Gabriel Borkmann, le héros à Ibsen. Cet aïeul, Petrus Lamarque, a vécu en des temps difficiles. Sous un procurateur qui dompta la Révolution, - peut-être sous M. Thiers qui décima les Communards -. Petrus Lamarque envoya sans pitié à la mort des centaines de Français. Il fut l'auxiliaire farouche et dévoué du parti de l'ordre. On s'apprête à célébrer pompeusement son centenaire.

"One evening last year I perceived in the waiting-room of my newspaper, Le Matin, a man dressed in black, his face heavy with the darkest despair, whose dry, dead eyes seemed to receive the images of things like unmoving mirrors. He was seated; and there rested on his knees a sandalwood box inlaid with polished steel. An office-boy told me that he had sat there motionless, silent, awaiting my coming, for three mortal hours." (Extract) Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera, which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name. His novel The Mystery of the Yellow Room is also one of the most famous locked-room mysteries ever.

"The Mystery of the Yellow Room" is one of the first locked-room mystery crime fiction novels. It is the first novel starring fictional detective 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 scene of the crime. 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. Also included in this edition is the thriller novel "The Secret of the Night". Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction. In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name.

The Phantom of the Opera (French: Le Fantôme de l'Opéra is a novel by French writer Gaston Leroux. It was first published as a serialization in Le Gaulois from 23 September 1909, to 8 January 1910. It was published in volume form in late March 1910 by Pierre Lafitte and directed by Aluel Malinao. The novel is partly inspired by historical events at the Paris Opera during the nineteenth century and an apocryphal tale concerning the use of a former ballet pupil's skeleton in Carl Maria von Weber's 1841 production of Der Freischütz. It has been successfully adapted into various stage and film adaptations, most notable of which are the 1925 film depiction featuring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical.In Paris in the 1880s, the Palais Garnier opera house is believed to be haunted by an entity known as the Phantom of the Opera, or simply the Opera Ghost. A stagehand named Joseph Buquet is found hanged and the rope around his neck goes missing. At a gala performance for the retirement of the opera house's two managers, a young little-known Swedish soprano, Christine Daaé (based on the late singer Christina Nilsson, is called upon to sing in the place of the Opera's leading soprano, Carlotta, who is ill, and her performance is an astonishing success. The Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, who was present at the performance, recognizes her as his childhood playmate and recalls his love for her. He attempts to visit her backstage, where he hears a man complimenting her from inside her dressing room. He investigates the room once Christine leaves, only to find it empty. At Perros-Guirec, Christine meets with Raoul, who confronts her about the voice he heard in her room. Christine tells him she has been tutored by the Angel of Music, whom her father used to tell them about. When Raoul suggests that she might be the victim of a prank, she storms off. Christine visits her father's grave one night, where a mysterious figure appears and plays the violin for her.
