About the book

A mysterious masked figure haunts the Paris Opera House and becomes obsessed with a young singer, Christine Daae. Strange events disturb the company as a rival suitor tries to protect her.

From the text

“He was not, as was long believed, a creature of the imagination of the artists, the superstition of the managers, or a product of the absurd and impressionable brains of the young ladies of the ballet, their mothers, the box-keepers, the cloak-room attendants or the concierge.” The Phantom of the Opera · Gaston Leroux

The truth was slow to enter my mind, puzzled by an inquiry that at every moment was complicated by events which, at first sight, might be looked upon as superhuman; and more than once I was within an ace of abandoning a task in which I was exhausting myself in the hopeless pursuit of a vain image.

진실은 내 마음에 천천히 다가왔고, 매 순간 초인적인 것으로 여겨질 수 있는 사건들로 인해 복잡해지는 탐구에 당황했으며, 헛된 이미지를 쫓느라 지쳐 쓰러질 뻔한 적이 한두 번이 아니었다.

At last, I received the proof that my presentiments had not deceived me, and I was rewarded for all my efforts on the day when I acquired the certainty that the Opera ghost was more than a mere shade.

마침내 나는 내 예감이 틀리지 않았다는 증거를 받았고, 오페라의 유령이 단순한 그림자 이상이라는 확신을 얻게 된 날, 나의 모든 노력에 대한 보상을 받았습니다.

On that day, I had spent long hours over THE MEMOIRS OF A MANAGER, the light and frivolous work of the too-skeptical Moncharmin, who, during his term at the Opera, understood nothing of the mysterious behavior of the ghost and who was making all the fun of it that he could at the very moment when he became the first victim of the curious financial operation that went on inside the "magic envelope."

그날 나는 지나치게 회의적인 몽샤르맹의 가볍고 경박한 작품인 《지휘자의 회고록》을 오랫동안 읽고 있었다. 몽샤르맹은 오페라단 재직 시절 유령의 불가사의한 행동을 전혀 이해하지 못했고, "마법의 봉투" 안에서 벌어진 기묘한 금융 거래의 첫 번째 희생자가 된 바로 그 순간에 그것을 최대한 비웃고 있었다.

I had just left the library in despair, when I met the delightful acting-manager of our National Academy, who stood chatting on a landing with a lively and well-groomed little old man, to whom he introduced me gaily.

나는 절망에 빠져 도서관을 막 나왔을 때, 우리 국립 아카데미의 유쾌한 대리 매니저를 만났는데, 그는 복도에서 활기차고 단정하게 차려입은 작은 노인과 이야기를 나누고 있었고, 나를 그 노인에게 즐겁게 소개했다.

The acting-manager knew all about my investigations and how eagerly and unsuccessfully I had been trying to discover the whereabouts of the examining magistrate in the famous Chagny case, M.

대리 관리자는 내 조사에 대해 모두 알고 있었고 내가 유명한 샤니 사건의 조사 판사의 행방을 알아내려고 얼마나 간절히 노력했지만 실패했는지도 알고 있었습니다.

Faure. Nobody knew what had become of him, alive or dead; and here he was back from Canada, where he had spent fifteen years, and the first thing he had done, on his return to Paris, was to come to the secretarial offices at the Opera and ask for a free seat.

포레. 아무도 그가 살아 있는지 죽었는지 알지 못했습니다. 그는 15년을 보낸 캐나다에서 돌아왔는데, 파리로 돌아오자마자 제일 먼저 오페라 극장의 사무국에 가서 빈자리를 달라고 했습니다.

The little old man was M. Faure himself.

그 작은 노인은 바로 포레 씨였습니다.

We spent a good part of the evening together and he told me the whole Chagny case as he had understood it at the time.

우리는 저녁 시간의 상당 부분을 함께 보냈고 그는 당시 자신이 이해한 대로 샤니 사건 전체에 대해 내게 이야기해 주었다.
