Gaston Leroux

Gaston Leroux, born in Paris in 1868, was a French journalist, playwright, and detective/thriller writer. Beginning his career as a crime reporter and war correspondent, he lived an adventurous life that took him to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and even into North Africa disguised as an Arab. His high-spirited, often dangerous, escapades and questioning nature provided much of the background and plot material for his sensational mystery and adventure stories, particularly those starring his reporter-sleuth, Joseph Rouletabille. One of his most famous detective novels,  The Mystery of the Yellow Room, was published in 1907, and his works have been called “among the finest examples of the detective stories we possess.” But Leroux’s best-known story is  The Phantom of the Opera (1911), whose macabre hero has been played in film by classic horror film stars Lon Chaney and Claude Rains. Leroux died in Nice in 1927.

Samenvatting

The Yellow Room! Who now remembers this affair which caused so much ink

to flow fifteen years ago? Events are so quickly forgotten in Paris.

Has not the very name of the Nayves trial and the tragic history of the

death of little Menaldo passed out of mind? And yet the public attention

was so deeply interested in the details of the trial that the occurrence

of a ministerial crisis was completely unnoticed at the time. Now The

Yellow Room trial, which, preceded that of the Nayves by some years,

made far more noise. The entire world hung for months over this obscure

problem--the most obscure, it seems to me, that has ever challenged the

perspicacity of our police or taxed the conscience of our judges. The

solution of the problem baffled everybody who tried to find it. It was

like a dramatic rebus with which old Europe and new America alike became

fascinated. That is, in truth--I am permitted to say, because there

cannot be any author's vanity in all this, since I do nothing more than

transcribe facts on which an exceptional documentation enables me to

throw a new light--that is because, in truth, I do not know that, in

the domain of reality or imagination, one can discover or recall to mind

anything comparable, in its mystery, with the natural mystery of The

Yellow Room.
