Fantóm Opery – inšpirácia umelcov, povera riaditeľov, výplod fantázie baletiek, ich matiek, uvádzačiek, šatniarok a vrátničiek? Autora pri pátraní v archívoch Národnej hudobnej akadémie ohromila prekvapujúca spätosť javov súvisiacich s fantómom a tragédiou rodiny grófa de Chagny, ktorá rozvírila pokojnú hladinu Paríža: unesená speváčka Kristina Daaé, zmiznutie vikomta de Chagnyho a smrť jeho staršieho brata grófa Filipa, ktorého telo našli na brehu jazera, rozprestierajúceho sa v podzemí Opery. Príbeh Fantóma stvoril francúzsky spisovateľ Gaston Leroux, ktorý ho v rokoch 1909 až 1910 vydával na pokračovanie. Román sa preslávil aj vďaka početným filmovým spracovaniam.

This volume contains new translations of four of Pushkin's best works of fiction. The Queen of Spades has long been acknowledged as one of the world's greatest short stories, in which Pushkin explores the nature of obsession. The Tales of Belkin are witty parodies of sentimentalism, while Peter the Great's Blackamoor is an early experiment with recreating the past. The Captain's Daughter is a novel-length masterpiece which combines historical fiction in the manner of Sir Walter Scott with the devices of the Russian fairy-tale. The introduction provides close readings of the stories and places them in their European literary context.
