Book Description:
The Phantom of the Opera is Gaston Leroux’s haunting tale of obsession, love, and the shadows beneath the Paris Opera House. Beneath the grand stage, a mysterious figure known only as the Phantom lurks — a musical genius scarred by his past and hidden from the world. When he becomes fixated on Christine Daaé, a young soprano, his passion turns dark, manipulating events to bring her fame — and bind her to him.
As Christine is torn between her rising career, her childhood love Raoul, and the Phantom’s chilling demands, the story spirals into a dramatic clash of beauty and horror. Leroux’s classic blends romance, suspense, and Gothic atmosphere in a timeless exploration of desire, identity, and the masks we wear.
