Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Gaston Leroux's The Phantom of the Opera is a Gothic mystery of theatrical illusion, erotic obsession, and urban modernity set within the labyrinthine Paris Opéra. Framed as an investigative reconstruction, the novel blends sensational journalism, detective fiction, melodrama, and fin-de-siècle romance. Its masked 'phantom,' Erik, is both monster and tragic artist, haunting the opera house's cellars while shaping the destiny of the young soprano Christine Daaé and her aristocratic suitor, Raoul. Leroux, a French journalist, court reporter, and prolific novelist, brought to the book a reporter's appetite for documents, eyewitness testimony, architecture, and scandal. His familiarity with crime reporting and public spectacle helped him transform the real Palais Garnier-with its hidden machinery, underground lake, and social rituals-into a symbolic theatre of secrecy, class anxiety, and aesthetic power. This novel is recommended to readers interested in Gothic literature, early detective narrative, and the enduring myth of the outsider-genius. Beneath its suspense and romance lies a searching meditation on beauty, deformity, performance, and the human longing to be loved without disguise. 144 pp. Englisch.
