Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar

The books by the French writer Maurice Leblanc about the adventures of Arsène Lupin sold in enormous numbers during the author’s lifetime, surpassing the print runs of the books by Conan Doyle himself. So who is this Arsène Lupin?

Arsène Lupin is an elusive thief whose exploits are proclaimed by every newspaper; a mysterious figure, a gentleman with inexhaustible imagination, operating only in castles and high-society drawing rooms. Arsène Lupin is a man of a thousand disguises. You can’t catch him, and predicting his next move is out of the question. His cunning, his nobility, and his ingenuity know no bounds. Unless the great and invincible Herlock Sholms comes rushing in from fog-shrouded London to deal with the most famous criminal in France… This volume includes the novel “Arsène Lupin, gentleman-thief”.
