I suspect you might not be surprised to hear that this is a loose adaptation of Shakespeare's play. It tries to go a bit closer to what little we know about the historical Macbeth, and also to give Lady Macbeth (Gruoch) a bit more of a role, but he broad strokes are still much as the play was, and it even includes some of the play's more famous lines. That last bit was a little odd to translate too. The author's foreword says that they used Victor Hugo's son's translation of the play as a source, and changed them round, but I found for the most part they were straight quotes. However it posed a bit of a problem in translation, I don't know how 'modern' that French translation would be compared to a contemporary French translation of the play, I don't know of a 'modernised' 1860s English version of the play and I certainly wouldn't want to try it myself, so I used mainly the original, but left the foreword in anyway.

Provides a graphic interpretation of the Mozart opera in which the noble Prince Tamino seeks the fair Pamina against a backdrop of the battle between darkness and light. Long out of print, the many adaptations that Russell has done of famous operas are finally collected again in 3 volumes (this been the first), in the wake of his highly successful massive recent adaptation of Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung. This first volume presents his adaptation of one of Mozart's most famous works, a farcical tale mixed with fantasy. The story begins as the Queen of the Night sets Prince Tamino on a quest to rescue her daughter, Pamina from the evil Sarastro. On the way, he meets the bird-catcher Papageno, who is "persuaded" to help Tamino in his quest. Tamino's spiritual quest is counterpoised with Papageno's own earthly search for his one true love, Papagena. Both couples' strivings are juxtaposed with the eternal conflict between Sarastro and the Queen of the Night.

While trying to avoid a bastard demon hunter, Ravi was sucked into a novel and… ‘Even if I’m stuck inside a novel, why did it have to be a BL novel?!’ She spent her days starving because she wasn’t a BOY but a succubus. Outside, men lined up just by one glimpse of her but here, they were as cold as ice. Even if she dressed as a man, she was rejected and dumped as if they instinctively knew she was a woman. Like that, half a year passed. ‘What if I starve to death because I can’t eat regular meals? Anyone is fine, so be possessed by me…!’ She needed the vital energy of humans to stay alive. “Hey, glasses! Do you know me? Why do you keep looking at me?” “It’s just- You’re pretty.” ‘Oh my, look at him!’ It was the first time she had heard that word after falling into this destitute world. She was about to spend the night with the nerd-like guy she met in the bar thinking it would be just a one-night stand but… “What are you doing standing there? I might explode if we take it slow.” “Huh…? That face…” ‘Why are you– I can’t die like this!’ When he removed his glasses, she realized the man was the demon hunter who had been chasing her. But he, Regan, didn’t remember what happened outside of the novel, and the nasty demon didn’t miss her opportunity. Predator and prey. Succubus and Hunter. What choice would Ravi make to survive the collision of two opposing lives that could draw a parallel forever?
