Gaston Leroux is a classic detective and mystery novel. For more than a century, films and TV series have been made based on his books, plays and musicals have been staged. One of the most famous French novels of all time, The Phantom of the Opera, has become especially famous in this regard. This fascinating Gothic story about a mysterious creature living in the dungeons of the famous Paris Opera is still able 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 reporter Joseph Rouletabille: "The Mystery of the Yellow Room" (John Dixon Carr considered "The Mystery ..." the best story about a crime in a hermetically sealed space) and "The Spirits of the Lady in Black". Also included in the book is an additional chapter to The Phantom of the Opera, which was never translated into Russian, which was included in the first edition of the novel.
