Or you could always get it in the original French and translate it yourself. XD Seriously though, I was being over-dramatic. Leonard Wolf actually does a pretty great job, especially in explaining Leroux's numerous references to music, people, and places the majority of readers probably aren't familiar with. The one thing I would say to do that would really help you appreciate the novel to the fullest extent is to go and see, or rent and watch a recording of, Gounod's Faust. Then read the Leonard Wolf translation, and if you aren't satisfied, seek out the others. I wish I could! But I can't speak French and it would take way too long to try to learn. I have no knack for languages. Hmm..well maybe one day I'll try to find all the translations. Haha. BUY ALL THE TRANSLATIONS!--All the things.meme-- |

I love memes.. ;D It's technically the first comic that can't be printed, as parts of it are animated and it has its own soundtrack. It's also very confusing in regards to timelines, but you get used to all the crazy after a while. It's pretty long, but definitely worth reading. |

I'll definitely look into that. |
