Book Synopsis
Gaston Leroux was born in Paris in 1868. Educated in Normandy and then Paris, he began work as a court reporter and theatre critic. He started writing fiction around 1907 and also formed a film company via which he published novels that were also turned into films. The Phantom of the Opera is by far his most famous work and had been adapted for film and theatre, most notably as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney as the Phantom and as the 1986 award-winning musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Alexander Teixera de Mattos (1865-1921) was an Anglo-Dutch literary critic and one of the finest translators of his generation. He was the leading translator for the Lutetian Society, a group that worked to bring masterpieces of European fiction into the English language. His translations included the works of Maurice Leblanc, Emilé Zola and Gaston Leroux. Such is the quality of his work that many of his translations remain in print to this day.
