Sin duda, uno de mis clásicos favoritos.
El aura oscura y misteriosa que envuelve al historia, y por supuesto, a su protagonista es el aderezo perfecto. Da igual las veces que lea este libro, siempre pensaré que Erik merece más, mucho más. Es uno de esos personajes que realmente encajan a la perfección en la descripción de "moralmente grises".
Que placer haber vuelto a pasear por los rincones y sótanos olvidados de la Ópera de París.

“He had a heart that could have held the empire of the world, and in the end, he had to content himself with a cellar.”

Miluju ten muzikál, takže jsem nemohla vynechat jeho knižní předlohu. Trochu jsem se toho bála a i když u mě zůstává muzikálová verze na první místě, tuhle jsem si taky zamilovala. Postavy byly poměrně odlišné. Například Raoul mě nehorázně štval. Příběh byl nádherný a u konce mi ukáplo i pár slz. (Poslech písniček z muzikálu učtení, ještě více prohlubuje zážitek)
Helped me a lot in improving my understanding of classic literature. Not really a fan of dark romance though.

Let’s get to the heart of it: a guy who’s been shunned by society finds solace in the most beautiful young lady he can get his hands on—cue the drama, the mystery, and a lot of creepy, dark moments.
So, the Phantom? He’s the one pulling all the strings, pulling off some seriously sketchy moves (coercing money, sabotaging rivals, and being all-around mysterious), but he’s also shrouded in darkness like a tragic, misunderstood figure. And I’ll admit, I was horrified by him at first, but then, bam, I get his life story, and suddenly, I’m like, “Oh... I see you, Phantom. I get it.”
Honestly, I felt like he was a straight-up tragic version of Beast from Beauty and the Beast—mentally attractive but society’s standards had him looking all kinds of unfit for the normal world. Yeah, he was messed up, but there was this little human side to him that made me go, “Okay, maybe not all your terrible actions are unforgivable, but still.”
Now, here’s the kicker. The writing style? Eh. Not my fave. There were times I was practically dozing off with the narrator. Also, don’t get me started on the other characters—they felt like cardboard cutouts. Like, seriously, could they have been more one-dimensional? The only one I cared about was the Phantom himself.
All in all, The Phantom of the Opera is a story with an intriguing mix of horror, romance, and tragedy. The Phantom’s tale will tug at your heartstrings, but some of the prose and characters will make you want to take a nap. Still, it’s worth a read—if only for the Phantom himself and his gritty journey.
