Book summary

In Paris, a ghost haunts the Opera: he demands that Box Five be kept for him and threatens the managers by letter. Christine Daaé, a young Swedish singer, secretly takes lessons from a mysterious voice she calls the Angel of Music. Her childhood friend, the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny, wants to find out who is behind this voice.

A chandelier that falls in the middle of a performance, a mask, tunnels under the stage: Gaston Leroux created a character famous all over the world, both frightening and touching.

Told like an investigation and full of suspense, the novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

兩位經理嘲笑一個幽靈。兩個男人當上了巴黎歌劇院的經理。合約裡有一行紅墨水寫的字,命令他們付錢給一個幽靈。

The world of the book

巴黎歌劇院的地下室。故事發生在1880年前後的巴黎歌劇院,這座宏偉的劇院於1875年開幕。這幅當年的圖畫把它從中剖開:舞臺下方,好幾層地下室深入地底。施工時,到處都被水淹沒。於是建築師在最底下建了一個裝滿水的巨大水池。在書中,它變成了一座隱密的湖。
