About this ebook

A favourite of Gothic horror stories, a tale of unrequited love, passion and tragedy in this new Fantastica edition of Leroux's 'The Phantom of the Opera' novel. The story takes us far beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House. This is where hides the Phantom in his shadowy existence. Shamed by his physical appearance and feared by all, the love he holds for his beautiful protégé Christine Daaé is so strong that her heart cannot resist, even though she has fallen for her childhood friend.

Gaston Leroux

Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) was a French journalist and writer of detective fiction. Born in Paris, Leroux attended school in Normandy before returning to his home city to complete a degree in law. After squandering his inheritance, he began working as a court reporter and theater critic to avoid bankruptcy. As a journalist, Leroux earned a reputation as a leading international correspondent, particularly for his reporting on the 1905 Russian Revolution. In 1907, Leroux switched careers in order to become a professional fiction writer, focusing predominately on novels that could be turned into film scripts. With such novels as The Mystery of the Yellow Room (1908), Leroux established himself as a leading figure in detective fiction, eventually earning himself the title of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor, France’s highest award for merit. The Phantom of the Opera (1910), his most famous work, has been adapted countless times for theater, television, and film, most notably by Andrew Lloyd Webber in his 1986 musical of the same name.
