La cocina supone la orgullosa puesta en valor de lo nuestro, pero es también fuente de paz, cercanía y fraternidad entre los pueblos. Es así como nace Recontra ¡Bravazo!

Gaston Leroux spiega in questa famoso romanzo, pubblicato nel 1910, tutta la sua passione per il mistero e i trabocchetti, già noti al pubblico nel "Mistero della camera gialla" (che fu pubblicato tre anni prima). Qui lo scenario è molto più importante: l'Opéra di Parigi, che contiene un mondo sotterraneo ignoto ai più, ove si trova persino un lago. E il leggendario fantasma sarà poi davvero un essere soprannaturale? L'archetipo del mostro e della bella viene riproposto in questo avvincente romanzo, insieme a note ironiche e romantiche che colorano di rosa il nero del mistero.

Un vero rompicapo poliziesco: un delitto commesso in una stanza ermeticamente chiusa. Leroux cita espressamente i suoi colleghi autori che hanno proposto rompicapi simili: Edgar Allan Poe e Arthur Conan Doyle. Il personaggio in grado di risolvere il mistero è profondamente diverso da Sherlock Holmes: è un giovane reporter di appena diciott'anni soprannominato Rouletabille, che, a fine romanzo, l'autore promette di far diventare il protagonista di altri suoi romanzi. Ma il romanzo è davvero ben congegnato e nessun dettaglio rimane privo di spiegazione.

Tief unten in den Katakomben der Pariser Oper haust das »Phantom der Oper«, eine düstere Gestalt mit entstelltem Antlitz. Niemand bekommt das Phantom je zu Gesicht, auch nicht, wenn es in der Loge Nr. 5 den Klängen der Musik lauscht. Doch als es seiner Loge beraubt wird und seine Angebetete, die Chorsängerin Christine, ihre Verlobung mit dem Grafen Raoul bekannt gibt, verfällt das Phantom endgültig dem Wahnsinn und bringt alle in tödliche Gefahr.

En 1913 le journaliste Rouletabille s'est fait envoyer en Bulgarie par son journal pour rendre compte de la guerre des Balkans, car il est amoureux d'une jeune Bulgare rencontrée à Paris : Ivana, la nièce du général Vilitchkov. Dans le roman qui précède celui-ci il l'a délivrée du Château Noir où la tenait prisonnière l'ennemi de sa famille, Gaulow, devenu Turc sous le nom de Kara-Selim. Mais elle a maintenant un comportement bizarre qui déroute Rouletabille et risque de faire tomber aux mains des Turcs les plans de guerre de son oncle qui se trouvent dans le précieux coffret byzantin dont s'est emparé Gaulow sans savoir ce qu'il contient.
