Kartoniert, 220 Seiten, 203mm x 127mm x 13mm, Sprache(n): eng The hulkish Chéri-Bibi, framed for a murder which he did not commit, escapes from Devil's Island by having the dying Marquis du Touchais' face grafted upon his own by a mad surgeon. But fate will not easily relinquish its prey and Chéri-Bibi discovers that his newfound freedom and fortune have come at a terrible price. After The Phantom of the Opera and detective Joseph Rouletabille, Chéri-Bibi is the third legendary hero created by one of France's greatest popular novelist and feuilletoniste of La Belle Epoque, Gaston Leroux (1868-1927).Gaston Louis Alfred Leroux (6 May 1868[1] - 15 April 1927) was a French journalist and author of detective fiction.In the English-speaking world, he is best known for writing the novel The Phantom of the Opera (Le Fantôme de l'Opéra, 1910), which has been made into several film and stage productions of the same name, notably the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. His novel The Mystery of the Yellow Room is one of the most celebrated locked-room mysteries.Leroux was born in Paris in 1868 and died in 1927 in Nice. He went to school in Normandy and studied law in Paris, graduating in 1889. He inherited millions of francs and lived wildly until he nearly reached bankruptcy. In 1890, he began working as a court reporter and theater critic for L'Écho de Paris. His most important journalism came when he began working as an international correspondent for the Paris newspaper Le Matin. He was present at, and covered, the 1905 Russian Revolution.Another case at which he was present involved the investigation and in-depth coverage of the former Paris Opera (presently housing the Paris Ballet).[1] The basement contained a cell that held prisoners of the Paris Commune.He left journalism in 1907 and began writing fiction. In 1919, he and Arthur Bernède formed their own film company, Société des Cinéromans, publishing novels and turning them into films. He first wrote a mystery novel titled Le mystère de la chambre jaune (1908; English title: The Mystery of the Yellow Room), starring the amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille. Leroux's contribution to French detective fiction is considered a parallel to those of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in the United Kingdom and Edgar Allan Poe in the United States.Leroux published his most famous work, The Phantom of the Opera, as a serial in 1909 and 1910, and as a book in 1910 (with an English translation appearing in 1911).Leroux was made a Chevalier de la Legion d'honneur Versandkostenfreie Lieferung<
