Lingard
The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar
Maurice Leblanc
The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar — Arsène Lupin, with his characteristic wit, plots over the course of nine short stories to steal many of France’s best antiques and artworks from under their owners’ noses. Only his classic opponent Detective Ganimard has the brilliance to attempt to foil Arsène’s plans, albeit with mixed results. The nine stories in this first Arsène Lupin collection began appearing in Je Sais Tout in 1905. This English version was published in 1910. The final story of the set features an unauthorised Sherlock Holmes whose appearance annoyed Arthur Conan Doyle; the character’s name was changed to “Herlock Sholmes” for later stories. Arsène Lupin later went on to feature in over fifty stories by Maurice Leblanc along with many other books, films and plays around the world.
