His first real success came when L'Echo de Paris published a series of his poems2 about Parisian actresses. Leroux's father died in 1889, and he inherited3 a fortune4 of one million francs. He immediately5 began to live on a grand scale6, eating in the best restaurants and entertaining7 splendidly8. He spent the whole of his inheritance9 in a period of six months, and then had to consider 10 how he would earn his living. In 1890 he became a court11 reporter for L'Echo de Paris. Soon after, he was given a job on the more prestigious newspaper, Le Matin. He was one of the first 'investigative'12 journalists, and he became famous when 1 to give up = vzdát se 2 a poem = báseň 3 to inherit = zdědit 4 a fortune [ˈfɔːtʃən] = jmění 5 immediately [ɪˈmiːdɪətlɪ] = okamžitě 6 on a grand scale = ve velkém (měřítku) 7 to entertain = pobavit 8 splendidly = skvěle, ohromně 9 an inheritance = dědictví 10 to consider = zvážit, promyslet 11 a court [kɔːt] = soud → a court reporter = soudní reportér 12 investigative = vyšetřovací, investigativní he solved a sensational13 case14 before it reached15 the law courts. Leroux combined journalism with novel16 writing and stories. His first novel, The Seeking17 of the Morning Treasures18, appeared19 in 1903. The story was based on20 a real 18th century criminal21, Louis Cartuche. Cartuche hid22 his treasure [poklad] in various secret locations around Paris, and died without telling anyone where it was. To publicise23 Leroux's book, Le Matin newspaper hid [schovalo] seven 'treasures' [pokladů] in different places [místech] around Paris, and readers of the book were encouraged24 to find them. The Mystery of the Yellow Room, which appeared [objevila se] in 1907, is a classic detective novel [román]. Its hero is the amateur detective Rouletabille, who investigates [řeší] crimes by using his powers of reason25. Leroux later wrote seven more books featuring26 Rouletabille. There was one part of court [soudní] reporting that Leroux did not like. He w a s obliged27 to watch the execution28 of several29 prisoners on the guillotine, and this disturbed30 him greatly.

In 1907, he decided to give up [vzdát se] his successful journalistic career and become a full-time novelist. The Phantom of the Opera was published in 1911. Leroux claimed33 that the idea for the story came from his personal knowledge of the Paris Opera House and its underground lake. The story was extremely popular with newspapers around the world, and many of them serialised it. Sales of the novel [román], however34, were disappointing35. Gaston Leroux's colourful career lasted36 nearly sixty years. He wrote more than fifty novels [románů] in total, the most famous being The Phantom of the Opera. He died in 1927.

Honors Theses. 83. https://scholarlycommons.obu.edu/honors_theses/83 This Thesis is brought to you for free and open access by the Carl Goodson Honors Program at Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. It has been accepted for inclusion in Honors Theses by an authorized administrator of Scholarly Commons @ Ouachita. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel, The Phantom of the Opera, has a considerable number of allusions, some of which are accessible to modern American audiences, like references to Romeo and Juilet. Many of the references, however, are very specific to the operatic world or to other somewhat obscure fields. Knowledge of these allusions would greatly enhance the experience of readers of the novel, and would also contribute to their ability to interpret it. Thus my thesis aims to be helpful to those who read The Phantom of the Opera by providing a set of notes, as it were, to explain the allusions, with an emphasis on the extended allusion of the Palais Garnier and the historical models for the heroine, Christine Daae. Notes on Translations At the time of this writing, three English translations are commercially available of The Phantom of the Opera.
