Description

Have you ever wondered about the real story behind one of literature's most iconic characters -- the Phantom of the Opera?

Gaston Leroux's 1910 masterpiece has captivated readers for over a century, inspiring countless adaptations from silent films to Broadway's longest-running musical. Yet the original novel offers a far richer, darker, and more complex tale than most adaptations reveal. This enhanced edition brings you closer to Leroux's vision with essential context and insights that illuminate every page.

In this book you will discover:

• Historical Context - The fascinating world of Belle Époque Paris, the Paris Commune's aftermath, the construction of the magnificent Palais Garnier, and the real 1896 chandelier accident that inspired Leroux's most dramatic scene

• Thematic Analysis - Exploration of the novel's enduring themes: beauty versus appearance, love and obsession, social rejection and rebellion, violence and redemption

• Author Biography - The remarkable life of Gaston Leroux, from his days as an intrepid journalist covering the Russian Revolution to his career as a pioneering mystery writer

Whether you're discovering The Phantom of the Opera for the first time or returning after years of loving its adaptations, this edition offers the complete experience.

Scroll up and click "Buy Now" to experience the original Phantom as Leroux intended -- enhanced with the context and insights that bring this masterpiece to life.
