The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar Annotated The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar is the first collection of stories by Maurice Leblanc, featuring the detective Arsene Lupin. It contains the first 8 stories with the character, including The Arrest of Arsène Lupin; Arsène Lupin in Prison; The Escape of Arsène Lupin; The Mysterious Traveller; The Queen’s Necklace; The Seven of Hearts; Madame Imbert’s Safe; The Black Pearl; and, Sherlock Holmes Arrives Too Late. The mention of Sherlock Holmes was changed to 'Herlock Sholmes' in subsequent publications after what I assume were stern words from Arthur Conan Doyle's lawyers. The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar Annotated Maurice-Marie-Emile Leblanc (1864-1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsene Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. The first Arsene Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories serialized in the magazine Je Sais Tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created, at editorial request, under the influence of, and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories. The character of Lupin might have been based by Leblanc on French anarchist Marius Jacob, whose trial made headlines in March 1905; it is also possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 Jours du Neurasthenique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau. Leblanc also wrote two notable science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919) and Le Formidable Evenement (1920). The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar Annotated

Book Description
Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsene Lupin is a witty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime. The poor and innocent have nothing to fear from him; often they profit from his spontaneous generosity. The rich and powerful, and the detective who tries to spoil his fun, however, must beware. They are the target of Arsene's mischief and tomfoolery. A masterful thief, his plans frequently evolve into elaborate capers, a precursor to such cinematic creations as Ocean's Eleven and The Sting. Sparkling with amusing banter, these stories-the best of the Lupin series-are outrageous, melodramatic, and literate.
