{"product_id":"the-phantom-of-the-opera-alexander-teixeira-de-mattos-9781545066980","title":"The Phantom of the Opera","description":"The Opera ghost really existed. 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. Yes, he existed in flesh and blood, although he assumed the complete appearance of a real phantom; that is to say, of a spectral shade. When I began to ransack the archives of the National Academy of Music I was at once struck by the surprising coincidences between the phenomena ascribed to the \"ghost\" and the most extraordinary and fantastic tragedy that ever excited the Paris upper classes; and I soon conceived the idea that this tragedy might reasonably be explained by the phenomena in question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Teixeira De Mattos, Gaston LeRoux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1545066981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781545066980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.50d","brand":"Alexander Teixeira De Mattos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149410300159,"sku":"9781545066980","price":11.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e46e0c25-4df3-4a70-9133-27247233424c.jpg?v=1688456555","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-phantom-of-the-opera-alexander-teixeira-de-mattos-9781545066980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
