The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar
Sale Starts:
The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar introduces readers to the world’s most charming thief. Written by Maurice Leblanc, the collection of short stories presents Lupin as both a criminal mastermind and a man of wit, daring, and honor. His exploits mix suspense, intrigue, and humor, making him one of literature’s most enduring anti-heroes.
Description
This classic volume brings together a series of tales that showcase Lupin’s cleverness, resourcefulness, and flair for outwitting both the law and his rivals. Unlike ordinary criminals, Lupin commits his thefts with elegance and imagination, often leaving behind amused adversaries and astonished victims. His charisma and intelligence elevate him from a thief to a cultural icon, representing the allure of rebellion against authority.
Leblanc balances mystery with adventure, setting Lupin’s escapades against Parisian society and occasionally pitting him against the famous detective Sherlock Holmes (thinly disguised as “Herlock Sholmes” due to copyright). The collection not only entertains with twists and daring heists but also explores the blurred line between crime and justice. These stories helped establish the gentleman-thief archetype, influencing countless works of crime and adventure fiction.
