The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar - Paperback

by Maurice LeBlanc (Author)

If you've already finished Netflix's Lupin, never fear-the Arsène Lupin books have plenty of mystery to keep you occupied while waiting for the next part of the series. The French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes, Arsène Lupin is both a brilliant detective and a dashing master criminal with his own strong code of ethics.

Slender, elegant, refined, brilliant, and seductive, he is the model of the "Belle Epoque" dandy. His intelligence, culture, and talents as an illusionist are all at the service of his astonishing nerve. But this accomplished man of the world is also an anarchist at heart, playing with social conventions with marvelous insolence.

The first tale in this collection was published in July 1905 in the newspaper Je Sais Tout-the first story ever to feature Lupin. Encouraged by its success, author Maurice Leblanc continued the adventure in several more short stories. This classic collection is the result.
