Gaston Leroux is a classic detective and mystical novel. For more than a century, films and TV series, plays and musicals have been staged based on his books. One of the most famous French novels of all time, “The Phantom of the Opera,” became especially famous in this regard. This exciting gothic story about a mysterious creature living in the dungeons of the famous Paris Opera still manages to keep the reader in suspense from the first to the last page. This edition, in addition to The Phantom of the Opera, includes the first and most famous novels about the adventures of the reporter Joseph Rouletabille: The Mystery of the Yellow Room (John Dixon Carr considered The Secret... the best story about a crime in a hermetically sealed space) and Perfume ladies in black." The book also includes an additional chapter to The Phantom of the Opera, which was never translated into Russian, and was included in the first edition of the novel.
