New to Penguin Clothbound Classics, Gaston Leroux's classic tale of Gothic horror and tragic romance

Rumours that a ghost stalks the dark passages and cellars of the Paris Opera House, wreaking havoc, have long been rife among staff and performers. This Phantom also haunts the imagination of the beautiful and talented singer Christine Daaé, appearing to her as the 'Angel of Music' - a disembodied voice, coaching her to sing as she never could before. When Christine is courted by a handsome young Viscount, the mysterious spectre, who resides in the murky depths of the building, is consumed by jealousy and seeks revenge.

With its pervading atmosphere of menace, tinged with dark humour, The Phantom of the Opera (1910) offers a unique mix of Gothic horror and tragic romance that has inspired film, stage and literature since its publication.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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.
