歌剧魅影(The Phantom of the Opera)简介：: 　　Erik has the voice of an angel, but the face of a monster. When he takes off his mask, people scream and run away. So he hides himself away in the darkness below an opera house. There, he falls in love with a beautiful singer. But will she be able to return his love?
　　
　　Gaston Leroux's famous gothic novel of intrigue and romance beneath the Paris Opera House has spawned a number of spinoffs; this storybook adaptation is not among the more felicitous. It tells, of course, of the beautiful opera singer Christine and the choice she must make between the disfigured Phantom, who taught her her craft, and the Viscount she has long loved. Leroux's is an intricate and complex story; here, it is given a summarized, reductive treatment. Characters and their motivations are scantily developed; the prose has a rushed, breathless quality that is overly melodramatic even for its subject; and, as presented, many specifics of the plot, as well as its eventual resolution and meaning, seem likely to leave children bewildered. The illustrations are stylized and garishly colored; they do not help to explicate the text nor do they make it inviting to the picture-book audience. No ages given. 　　《歌剧魅影》的主人公是一个总习惯于坐在巴黎大歌剧院二层五号包厢的怪绅士。他天赋一副好歌喉，也是一个有知识、有灵性的作曲家，一名优秀的建筑师。由于先天畸形，他的容貌丑陋不堪，只能带着假面具，像幽灵一样生活在巴黎歌剧院幽暗的地下室里。不幸的身世造就了他扭曲的个性，使他不断地与人为敌，但是在内心深处却充满了悲伤。他爱上了美丽的女演员克里斯汀，不顾一切地将她劫持，最终酿成一场无可挽回的悲剧。整个故事情节延续了西洋文化故事原型中“美女与野兽”的类型，作者以超乎想象的恐怖感和艺术技巧，演绎出一段让人哀怜，凄婉浪漫的爱情传奇。
