Fantasma De La Opera, El / Pd.

Equal parts romance and gothic novel, this engrossing tale of unrequited love, musical genius, and physical deformity has been the basis for many a film, television, radio, and stage adaptation, including the immensely popular Broadway musical. Since the novel's publication in 1910, Erik and his mask have become true pop culture icons, and the tortured genius' tragic story continues to captivate the hearts of readers.
