Description
The classic story of a dangerous love triangle set in an 1890s Paris opera house.
Rumoured to be haunted, the Palais Garnier opera house in nineteenth-century Paris is the setting for this story of a dangerous love triangle involving a young Swedish soprano, her mysterious “Phantom” tutor, and her childhood friend.
When Carlotta, the lead soprano, takes ill and Christine Daaé’s understudy performance is a rousing success, Vicomte Raoul de Chagny falls in love with Christine. Meanwhile, her tutor, “the Angel of Music,” whom she believes has been sent by her deceased father, is also coveting Christine’s affections.
But the Angel is no phantom as everyone believes, and his fears of Christine’s rejection due to his masked disfigurement prompt him to abduct her and extract a promise of marriage born of wild jealousy.
This latest addition to the Word Cloud Classic series will have you burning the candles low to reach the dark, gothic ending of The Phantom of the Opera.

About the Author
Gaston Leroux was a French journalist and playwright. Born in Paris in 1868, he abandoned a law career to become a court reporter and theater critic; as an international correspondent, he witnessed and covered the 1905 Russian Revolution. Two years later, Leroux left journalism to focus on writing fiction. He authored dozens of novels and short stories, and is considered one of the preeminent French writers of detective fiction. His most famous work, The Phantom of the Opera, was originally serialized in 1909 and 1910. He died in 1927. Alexander Teixeira de Mattos (1865–1921) was Dutch-English translator and writer.
