SOBRE O AUTOR

Gaston Leroux

Gaston Leroux nasceu em Paris, a 6 de maio de 1868, e morreu em Nice, a 15 de abril de 1927. Formado em Direito, rapidamente ingressou no jornalismo e viria a tornar-se um dos mais conhecidos repórteres do seu tempo. Em 1907, abandonando a escrita jornalística, publica o seu primeiro êxito literário, O Mistério do Quarto Amarelo, hoje unanimemente apontado como um dos grandes clássicos na história da literatura policial. Este será o primeiro de uma série que tem como protagonista o repórter-detetive Rouletabille, cujas aventuras foram várias vezes adaptadas ao cinema. Com mais de uma trintena de romances e peças teatrais, Gaston Leroux publicou em 1910 aquela que é por muitos considerada a sua obra-prima, O Fantasma da Ópera.
