About this ebook
While Christine was a child, her father told her many stories about the "Angel of Music", who is the personification of musical inspiration. Christine meets and befriends the young Raoul, Viscount of Chagny. One of Christine and Raoul's favourite stories is one of Little Lotte, a girl who is visited by the Angel of Music and possesses a heavenly voice.
Christine now lives with "Mamma" Valerius, the elderly widow of her father's benefactor. She eventually is given a position in the chorus at the Paris Opera House (Palais Garnier). She begins hearing a beautiful, unearthly voice which sings to her and speaks to her. She believes this must be the Angel of Music and asks him if he is. The Voice agrees and offers to teach her "a little bit of heaven's music". The Voice, however, belongs to Erik, a physically deformed and mentally disturbed musical genius who was one of the architects who took part in the construction of the opera house. He is in love with Christine.
Gaston Leroux
Der französische Journalist und Schriftsteller Gaston Leroux (1868 bis 1927) erschuf mit "Das Geheimnis des gelben Zimmers" einen Klassiker der Kriminalliteratur. Sein mit Abstand bekanntestes Werk jedoch ist "Das Phantom der Oper", das mehrfach verfilmt wurde und in der Musicalversion von Andrew Lloyd Webber seinen Siegeszug um die Welt antrat. Der Abenteuerroman "Die Braut der Sonne" liegt hier erstmalig in deutscher Übersetzung vor.
