Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK In my elementary school, the library had a small section dedicated to children’s versions of classic novel adaptations. Even now, I can remember that my favorite adaptation was “The Phantom of the Opera.” The translation was a watered-down version with plenty of pictures, and I was intrigued by the mysterious ‘Angel of Music’ who enchanted the pretty little Christine Daaé. This gentleman could throw his voice as if to sound disembodied, he taught Christine to sing, and he loved her fiercely and passionately. The phantom’s story stayed with me until my freshman year at high school, when much to my delight, I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical adaptation as my first Broadway production. I bought the original score book (which I still possess years later), and kept the entire bus awake by singing the haunting music throughout the fourteen-hour ride back home. MEET THE AUTHOR Jean Asta is the owner of Asta Communications, a freelance communications company providing writing, editing, and training services for clients around the globe. She has a BA in English Literature and a Master's in Public Administration, both from the University of Georgia. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK “The Phantom of the Opera” was inspired by a corpse that Leroux chanced upon in the catacombs of the Opera House in Paris while working on a story about the prisoners of the Paris Commune held there. The expansive underground structures beneath the Paris Opera House, kindled his imagination, and Leroux was able to unleash a passionate tale of misguided and unrequited love. As a book, the “Phantom of the Opera” received very little literary praise. Critics and readers enjoyed the suspense, but they found the story implausible, and the plot convoluted. It wasn’t until 1925, when Universal Studio made a silent film version of the novel casting Lon Cheney as the Phantom, that his story started getting popular attention. The cinematic phantom was so gruesome that women were forewarned to bring smelling salts to the theater lest they faint, and quite a few members of the audience did... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Book Description
French author Gaston Leroux unknowingly created a timeless and powerful character in his Erik, the Phantom of the Opera. Movies, books and musicals have retold the original tale, enhancing it with a sparse tease of detail that we may glimpse the tortured life of Erik. As outstanding as these renditions prove to be, there seems to be so many unanswered questions. The Angel of Music is an account of the very private adventures of Erik in his quest to love and be loved. As brilliant and gifted as he is, he cannot convey his feelings to Christine properly. Frustrated to the point of violence, his fantasy of a beautiful life with her is shattered and he despairs into his last breath. The nightingale that rescues him and loves him back to life is rewarded with a romantic adventure of epic proportions. Herein lies the testament of the Angel of Music and his beloved Christine.

Book Description
The focus of this book is on early Jewish interpretations of the ambiguous relationship between God and ‛the angel of the Lord/God’ in texts like Genesis 16, 22 and 31. Genesis 32 is included since it exhibits the same ambiguity and constitutes an inseparable part of the Jacob saga. The study is set in the wider context of the development of angelology and concepts of God in various forms of early Judaism. When identifying patterns of interpretation in Jewish texts, their chronological setting is less important than the nature of the biblical source texts. For example, a common pattern is the avoidance of anthropomorphism. In Genesis ‛the angel of the Lord’ generally seems to be a kind of impersonal extension of God, while later Jewish writings are characterized by a more individualized angelology, but the ambivalence between God and his angel remains in many interpretations. In Philo's works and Wisdom of Solomon, the ‛Logos’ and ‛Lady Wisdom’ respectively have assumed the role of the biblical ‛angel of the Lord’. Although the angelology of Second Temple Judaism had developed in the direction of seeing angels as distinct personalities, Judaism still had room for the idea of divine hypostases.
