Produktbeschreibung
The lure of the mask centers on a man captivated by a mysterious voice he hears singing outside his window on a cold night. Drawn by the haunting soprano, he wanders through fog-shrouded streets, spurred by longing and curiosity. His search introduces an atmosphere of intrigue and melancholy as he wrestles with isolation and the pull of the unknown. Along the way, his chance meeting with a police officer hints at rumors of a woman connected to theft and mystery, deepening the tension between desire and suspicion. Music serves as the catalyst for his journey, representing not only beauty but also an invitation to step beyond the routine into a world shaped by emotion and imagination. The narrative explores the impact of fleeting sounds and moments on a restless spirit, emphasizing how ordinary surroundings can be transformed by wonder. Through this lens, the novel suggests that even a brief encounter can lead to emotional transformation. Romantic yearning and the search for meaning animate the protagonist s pursuit, which becomes a metaphor for the larger quest for connection in an impersonal world.
Autorenporträt
American novelist, short story writer, and screenwriter Harold MacGrath was a bestselling and prolific author. He occasionally finished more than one mass-market novel per year, with themes including romance, spies, mystery, and adventure. He was the first nationally renowned author hired to produce original screenplays for the fledgling motion picture industry. Additionally, he had three short stories and 18 novels turned into movies, sometimes more than once. Additionally, three of these books were turned into plays that were presented on New York City's Broadway. Although MacGrath spent a lot of time traveling, his home base was always Syracuse, New York, where he was born and reared. He was the son of Thomas H. and Lillian Jane McGrath, and he was born Harold McGrath in Syracuse, New York. Before publishing his first book, a romance titled Arms and Woman, in the late 1890s, he was a teenage reporter and columnist for the Syracuse Herald newspaper. The Puppet Crown, his subsequent novel, reportedly peaked at No. 7 on the New York Times bestseller list for the entire year of 1901. More than one mass-market novel about love, adventure, mystery, spies, and the like was still produced annually by MacGrath.
