What Do You Do When a Dead Man Moves to Town? Millie would not be intimidated, not by the likes of him. As if he read her thoughts, his mouth curled at one corner in a crude caricature of a smile. A wave of foreboding clawed its way up her spine. She was going to regret selling him the house. Hanover, Tennessee is a community of honest family values and simple pleasures, a place comfortably wrapped in generations of sameness. For real estate agent Millie DuBoise, it's the perfect place to build her own business, and she finds herself both financially and emotionally independent for the first time in her life. Still, maybe she shouldn't have sold the house to the Mitchells. Pam Lindsey also lives in Hanover, the third generation of her family to do so. She's loved its peace and the stability it brings, although she could, she admits, stand for a little excitement now and then. And she'll get her wish-in ways she'd never suspect-when her friend Millie sells a house to the mysterious and somewhat sinister Leon Mitchell. To start with, Leon Mitchell, from Cleveland Ohio, is supposed to be dead. The Angel of the Opera: Sherlock Holmes Meets the Phantom of the Opera. The setting: 1890 Paris.

Readers familiar with Gaston Leroux's story will be on safe ground in Siciliano's retelling. An elusive phantom threatens the management of the Opera with unnamed disasters unless he's paid "several thousand francs a month" and young and beautiful Christine Daae is cast as the lead in their productions. Under the tutelage of the "Angel of Music, " a fearfully disfigured musician living in the cellars of the Opera house, Christine becomes the rage of the Paris Opera. Holmes is hired by both the theater's management and the pompous and immature Viscount de Chagny, who adores Christine, to remove the Phantom's threat to profits and love. Although Holmes does little but interact with the other characters, through him and Vernier, the author re-examines the relationship of goodness and beauty. Siciliano's tale, while not original, is wonderfully atmospheric and moves briskly."; 1.2 x 9.3 x 6.3 Inches; 256 pages. ► Contact This Seller. 1994, O. Penzler Books. Edition: 1994, O.

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.

  • THE MASK of ERIK by Rick Lai © 2007 Rick Lai [email protected] In
    THE MASK OF ERIK by Rick Lai © 2007 Rick Lai [email protected] In The Phantom of the Opera (1910), Gaston Leroux (1868-1927) created a colorful past for the title character who was also known as Erik. Leroux pretended that his novel was not a work of fiction. He perpetrated the hoax that the Phantom’s story had been unearthed through interviews with actual people including former employees of the Paris Opera House. A careful reading of the novel indicates that its events transpired decades before its year of publication. The novel’s prologue indicated that the story took place “not more than thirty years ago.” At one point, Erik made the farcical prediction that a young girl, Meg Giry, would be an Empress in 1885. The novel happened sometime between 1880 and 1884. Of the years available, I favor 1881 (1). The Phantom was born in a French town not far from Rouen. His exact year of birth was unstated, but it was probably around 1830 (2). The Phantom’s skeletal visage was a defect from birth. The makeup of Lon Chaney Sr. in the famous 1925 silent movie faithfully followed Leroux’s description of the Phantom’s face. Since the silent film was made in black and white, Chaney could never duplicate the bizarre yellow eyes of the Phantom. Very little is known of the Phantom’s parents (3). His father was a stonemason. The Phantom’s mother was repelled by her son’s ugliness. She refused to ever let him kiss her. Furthermore, she insisted that he wear a mask at all times.

  • Compare/Contrast: Phantom of the Opera Novel Vs. Musical The
    Compare/Contrast: Phantom of the Opera novel vs. musical The original story of the Phantom begins in a novel by author Gaston Leroux. Read this summary of his novel: When Leroux began his research in Paris for his novel, Phantom of the Opera, he said he went through the archives of the National Academy of Music to investigate the story of a kidnapping. A great singer, Christine Daae had been kidnapped, her rescuer, Vicomte de Chagney, had disappeared, and the Vicomte’s brother, Count Philippe, had died. Leroux interviewed a “witness” to all this. This “witness” was known as “the Persian.” The man told Leroux he had spoken with a ghost who lived in the Paris Opera House. The Persian also claimed to have found a skeleton in the cellars of the Opera House which he claimed belonged to a mysterious phantom that lived and roamed around the opera house. Based on his research and interviews, Leroux decided to write a novel about the “phantom” and the mysterious “Persian” and the kidnapping and disappearances possibly linked to the phantom Chapter 1: The book begins with the ballet girls at the opera house discussing the rumors about a ghost. Ballet dancer Meg Giry tells how the ghost sits in Box 5 in the opera house for every performance and watches from the shadows. Meg’s mother, Madame Giry is in charge of the auditorium for the opera house. Madame Giry tells the girls how, Buquet, a stage-hand and scene-changer for the performances, was recently found hanged beneath the stage.

He criticizes the popular notion that a film adaptation bastardizes a text by hijacking the events and characters from their literary form and thereby destroying the work by divorcing form from content.
