El fantasma de la opera [Hardcover]

Equal parts romance and gothic novel, this engrossing tale of unrequited love, musical genius, and physical deformity has been the basis for many a film, television, radio, and stage adaptation, including the immensely popular Broadway musical. Since the novel’s publication in 1910, Erik and his mask have become true pop culture icons, and the tortured genius’ tragic story continues to captivate the hearts of readers.

Gaston Lerouxwas a French journalist and author of detective fiction. His most famous work,The Phantom of the Opera, was inspired by a tour of the cellars at the Paris Opera, and published in 1911. The story has been adapted for film and, most notably, for Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical, the longest running Broadway show in history.

This book revolutionized the genre of mystery novel and gave us one of the most fascinating archetypes of 20th century literature.
