Человек, вернувшийся издалека
Андре де Лабосьер, богатый вдовец и промышленник, спешно уезжает в Бордо, доверив двух маленьких детей, роскошный замок Ла Розрэ и управление фабрикой своему брату Жаку и его жене Фанни. Пять лет от него не было никаких вестей, пока однажды, во время званого ужина в Ла Розрэ, группа гостей, увлекающихся спиритизмом, не решает провести сеанс, во время которого к ним является дух Андре и сообщает, что был убит... Жак и Фанни думают, что это чья-то глупая шутка. Но как объяснить загадочное исчезновение Андре? И откуда призраку известны обстоятельства его гибели?

About the author
Gaston Leroux
1,206 books1,103 followersGaston Louis Alfred Leroux 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, such as the 1925 film starring Lon Chaney, and Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1986 musical. It was also the basis of the 1990 novel Phantom by Susan Kay.
Leroux 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. Then 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. In 1905 he was present at and covered the Russian Revolution. Another case he was present at involved the investigation and deep coverage of an opera house in Paris, later to become a ballet house. The basement consisted of a cell that held prisoners in the Paris Commune, which were the rulers of Paris through much of the Franco-Prussian war.
He suddenly left journalism in 1907, and began writing fiction. In 1909, he and Arthur Bernède formed their own film company, Société des Cinéromans to simultaneously publish novels and turn them into films. He first wrote a mystery novel entitled Le mystère de la chambre jaune (1908; The Mystery of the Yellow Room), starring the amateur detective Joseph Rouletabille. Leroux's contribution to French detective fiction is considered a parallel to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's in the United Kingdom and Edgar Allan Poe's in America. Leroux died in Nice on April 15, 1927, of a urinary tract infection.

Je ressens avec Gaston Leroux la même chose qu'avec Jules Verne : l'histoire est là, solide, bien imaginée, mais la narration, l'écriture me sont aujourd'hui des obstacles qui m'empêchent de profiter des livres.
Je crois qu'il vaut mieux pour moi rester avec mes souvenirs d'enfance de ces 2 auteurs.

Книга неожиданно порадовала. Начала читать ее как-то рандомно, ничего не зная про автора, кроме того, что он написал Призрак оперы. Его я, к слову, тоже не читала, не смотрела итд.
Очень лихо закрученный сюжет. Я ни до чего не догадалась сама 😂 Рекомендую любителям классических детективов и мистификаций.
Книга написана в 1900-х годах. Этот факт для обозначения стилистики и эпохи.
