"The Secret of the Night" by Gaston Leroux is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story appears to unveil a tale of mystery and intrigue that revolves around General Trebassof, a figure embroiled in the tensions of revolutionary Russia, and the imminent threats against his life. The narrative introduces key characters such as Matrena Petrovna, the general's protective wife, and Joseph Rouletabille, a young reporter sent to investigate the dark circumstances surrounding the general’s fate. At the start of the novel, we meet Matrena Petrovna, who is deeply concerned for her husband’s safety following previous assassination attempts. The atmosphere is charged with tension as she prepares to receive a young stranger, Rouletabille, who has come to aid in the investigation. The opening reveals a family struggling with secrets, danger, and the burdens of loyalty, while the ominous presence of the police highlights the perilous environment in which they exist. As Matrena explains the series of attacks on her husband, the reader is immediately pulled into a web of suspense that tests the bonds of family and the desperation of survival amid political chaos.
