Více o knize

The tale of a half-crazed musician concealed within the Paris Opera House, orchestrating mysterious events to elevate a young singer's career, is one of the most renowned horror stories, often compared to classics like Frankenstein and Dracula. Originally penned by French journalist Gaston Leroux in 1911, its fame largely stems from various film adaptations, particularly notable performances by Lon Chaney and Claude Rains, which immortalized the Phantom. Despite its iconic status, the original novel has been largely overlooked, with early editions now sought after by collectors. To celebrate the 75th Anniversary, this new edition features a Foreword by horror expert Peter Haining, who explores the Phantom's historical roots, the novel's initial poor reception, and its cinematic triumphs. Haining also highlights the vibrant character of Leroux and discusses how the Phantom has become a cultural reference point for theater disasters. This edition is enhanced with sketches and illustrations, along with a special Appendix connecting the Phantom to the era's famed detective, Sherlock Holmes, making it essential reading for fans of both characters.

Po zamilování se do opery jsem musela přečíst knihu.... Nedělejte to! Nejhorší kniha, co jsem četla a to jsou silná slova. Špatně napsané, časté logické chyby, nesmysluplné pasáže, špatné návaznosti, špatné postavy, ... . Velmi obdivuji Webera, že z tohoto zvládl udělat něco tak krásného. Po této knize jsem si musela napravit chuť dvěma jinými knihami, které vyprávějí Fantomův příběh. Pokud chcete číst o Fantomovi, najděte si nějaké fanfikce nebo COKOLI jiného než toto.
