Fiction | Historical
Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth
century, Arsène 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 Arsène’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.
