Description

The main character of Maurice Leblanc’s novels, Arsène Lupin, can be described as a “gentleman thief.” For the first time the character appeared in the novella “The Arrest of Arsène Lupin,” which was published in a French magazine in July 1905. Based on information contained in Leblanc’s works, there were repeated attempts to recreate Arsène Lupin’s biography. The most successful version was considered to be the works of Francis Lacassin and Andrée-François Roud. According to their information, Arsène Lupin Raoul was born in 1874 in the city of Blois. He studied law and medicine, knew Latin and Greek, and had various martial arts skills. Arsène Lupin was a master of disguise, so it’s difficult to give an exact description of his appearance; it is reliably known only that he was slender, handsome, and extraordinarily strong. He repeatedly demonstrated his sharp mind and resourcefulness by solving the most tangled crimes—something you can verify yourself by listening to the audio version of stories about Arsène Lupin presented in this audiobook.
