La vie est atteinte de torticolis sempiternel, ce qui l’empêche de regarder en arrière. Faisons comme elle, le passé appartient à la mort, qui est jalouse de son bien.

Jean Ray, Malpertuis

Have you read...

note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Similarly, if you’ve never heard of a book until now but formed an opinion from this post, you may wish to select a “no” option e.g., “No, but I want to.”

Malpertuis is a puzzle box of nested narratives wrested from a set of manuscripts stolen from a monastery. A bizarre collection of distrustful relatives has gathered together in the ancient stone mansion of a sea-trading dynasty for the impending death of the occult scientist, Uncle Cassave, and the reading of his will. Forced to dwell together for the remainder of their lives within the stifling walls of Malpertuis for the sake of a cursed inheritance, their banal existence gradually gives way to love affairs and secret plots, as the building slowly exposes a malevolence that eventually leads to a series of ghastly deaths. The eccentric personalities it houses—which include an obsessive taxidermist, a hypochondriac, a trio of vengeful sisters and a former paint store manager who has gone mad—begin to shed like skins to reveal yet another hidden story buried in the novel’s structure, one that turns the haunted-house tradition on its head and culminates in an apocalyptic denouement.

[already-14]

this is a strange story, but then, what else to expect from the leading light of the Belgian School of the Strange. Jean Ray (1887 - 1964) is the best known of the multiple pseudonyms of Raymundus Joannes Maria de Kremer. Ray authored some 6,500 texts, including his own biography, which remains shrouded in legend and fiction. His alleged lives as an alcohol smuggler, an executioner in Venice, a Chicago gangster, and a hunter in remote jungles covered up a more prosaic existence as manager of a literary magazine. This book is beautifully published by @wakefield_press

Books I've read in 2023 so far

Fire and Blood (G. R. R. Martin): amazing world building.

The Great God Pan (Arthur Machen): at first I didn't like this short novel due to its vague descriptions of the horrors, but at the end I think that's the best way to depict the god Pan, a mysterious entity representing the hidden horrors of nature.

The White Guard (Mikhail Bulgakov): probably my favourite of the year, but Bulgakov is one of my favourite writers so I expected nothing less. Strongly censured the first time it was published, it narrates the Ukrainian War of Independence through the eyes of the Turbin family.

Malpertuis (Jean Ray): an isolated old mansion, gothic atmosphere, interesting characters. It's a nice reading overall, recommended for stormy nights.

Il Rogo di Berlino (Helga Schneider): an Italian book written by a German woman who lived in Berlin in 1945. She narrates her experiences during the war. Crude, harsh, and beautifully written.

Lapvona (Ottessa Moshfegh): bad book, both in the form and the content. Don't waste your time reading it.

Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen): my first Austen experience. It was interesting, not my cup of tea but it was undoubtedly well written.

A Journal of the Plague Year (Defoe): it's more a documentation of how it was living under the Plague in London than a novel, really interesting!

Paese d'Ombre (Giuseppe Dessì): another Italian book, more specifically about my region. It's about the issues Sardinia went under during the first period of the Italian Unification, a period during which the region was treated in the same manner of a colony by the Savoia reign. I loved it.

The Tale of Hōgen: a Japanese military tale about the Hōgen rebellion. It was the hardest book to read because I'm not familiar with Japanese culture, but I learnt a lot when reading it for sure and I think it helped me understand some modern Japanese media.

A Room of One's Own (Virginia Woolf): what can I say? Amazing amazing amazing.

Note to myself: this year I've read mainly European books, and mainly gothic novels because I felt the need to stay in the comfy and cozy zone. I guess I should read more non-European books, and maybe more recent ones. :p

Je n’osais m’avouer encore que, dès mon retour à la vie, le piment des ténèbres, de l’angoisse, de l’épouvante même, me manquaient.

Welcome to the 10th installment of 15 Weeks of Phantom, where I post all 68 sections of Le Fantôme de l’Opéra, as they were first printed in Le Gaulois newspaper 114 yeas ago.

In today’s installment, we have Part III of Chapter 4: "La Loge N° 5” (“Box 5”), and Part I of Chapter 5: "Suite de « La Loge N° 5 »" ("Box 5 Continued").

This section was first printed on Wednesday, 6 October, 1909.

For anyone following along in David Coward’s translation (the link is to the Kindle edition on Amazon US), the text starts in Chapter 4 at, “That night, tickets were sold for Box 5” and goes to Mme Giry’s line, “What happened was that someone went and upset the Phantom!”

There are some differences between the standard 1st Edition text and the Gaulois text. In this section, these include:

1) In the Gaulois text, the section starts out with an amusing little interchange between Moncharmin and Richard (highlighted in red in the first column):

"Yes, this is getting old," agreed Armand Moncharmin, as he carefully slipped the Phantom's note into his pocketbook.

"You're keeping that?" asked Richard.

"Out of curiosity," said Moncharmin.

2) In the Gaulois text, Leroux actually named the people who rented out Box 5 on the evening in question, and were summarily escorted out after raucous laughter was heard emanating from the box. This section is highlighted in red in the second column.

In Coward's translation, this text appears between "They immediately started carrying on again and this time I had them ejected for good" and "Send for the security man."

Leroux's text switches between the description from the Inspector, which I have italicized, and Richard’s and Moncharmin's comments, which are “in quotes”:

Before leaving the theatre, they gave their names. Among them, there was a journalist.

"Oh dear! Now we're in for trouble!" cried Richard.

Who stated that he will write an article.

"Egad!" cried Moncharmin.

This journalist is named Maxime Defrance.

"Don't know him," Richard and Moncharmin proclaimed in unison, reassured.

The other four were: M. and Mme Darklay and their daughter, from Rue de la Paix.

"The Darklays, but the Darklays are incapable of conducting themselves in such a manner!" said Moncharmin. "I know the Darklays, they are very respectable people; what does this mean?"

And M. Malpertuis.

"Malpertuis," cried the two Managers. "Let's hope that's not the Malpertuis from the Fine Arts! No... No... He would have requested a seat or a box. Malpertuis would never pay for his seat anywhere... But if he was invited by the Darklays? Good heavens!"

M. Malpertuis stated as he left that he would complain to the Managers.

3) Compare the Gaulois text, highlighted in red above: "ils en étaient ressortis et avaient appelé l'ouvreuse qui leur a demandé ce qu'ils voulaient" to the 1st Edition: "ils en étaient ressortis et avaient appelé l'ouvreuse qui leur a demandé ce qu'ils avaient".

Translation from the Gaulois:

They had gone out again and had called the box keeper, who asked them what they wanted.

Translation from the 1st Edition:

They had gone out again and had called the box keeper, who asked them what they needed.

4) Compare the Gaulois text, highlighted above: "L'ouvreuse me l'a assez répété, ce qui prouve bien que tout cela n'est qu'une plaisanterie" to the 1st Edition: "et c'est ce qui prouve bien que tout cela n'est qu'une plaisanterie".

Translation from the Gaulois:

“The box keeper told me several times, which proves that this was all just a practical joke.”

Translation from the 1st Edition: 

“And this proves that this was all just a practical joke.”

5) Compare the Gaulois text: "Qu'on aille me chercher l'ouvreuse ! hurla-t-il... Tout de suite ! Tout de suite !" to the 1st Edition: "Qu'on aille me chercher l'ouvreuse ! commanda-t-il... Tout de suite !" 

Translation from the Gaulois:

"Someone go get me the box keeper!" he roared... "Now! Now!"

Translation from the 1st Edition:

"Someone go get me the box keeper," he ordered... "Now!"

6) Minor differences in punctuation.
