Bøker av Maurice Leblanc

The Hollow Needle is one of Maurice Leblanc's best-known novels. In it the famous gentleman-burglar and master of disguises Arsène Lupin finds himself playing an intense game of cat and mouse with the young, surprisingly apt amateur-detective Isidore Beautrelet. Old foes Detective Ganimard and the famous English detective Holmlock Shears (so renamed to avoid copyright infringement) also make appearances. Lupin is chasing the most valuable object he has ever had the opportunity to steal: the Hollow Needle, which hides unfathomable treasure and a secret that the kings of France have been handing down since the time of Julius Caesar. Lupin has been depicted in countless film and stage adaptions, most recently as the inspiration of the Netflix series, Lupin, starring Omar Sy. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed chronology of Leblanc's life and work, as well as the eulogy he wrote for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The creator of the Arsene Lupin, Maurice Leblanc, was born in Rouen in 1864. At the request of a Paris magazine, Je Sais Tout, he began a series of stories featuring the character Lupin, a ''gentleman thief'', which appeared in this publication, starting in 1907. The stories were wildly successful and later led to plays, TV adaptations and movies. The most memorable of these adaptations for an anglophone audience being the recent (but ongoing) Netflix series ''Lupin'', starring Omar Sy. Lupin may be a rogue, a Robin Hood, but he is certainly no villain. Lupin stories are sheer, unadulterated, entertainment.

Ce livre est un recueil de neuf nouvelles policières, écrites par Maurice Leblanc, qui constituent les premières aventures d'Arsène Lupin. La première nouvelle du recueil, "L'arrestation d'Arsène Lupin", est publiée en juillet 1905 dans le journal Je sais tout. Il s'agit de la première nouvelle mettant en ¿uvre Arsène Lupin. Celle-ci ayant rencontré un réel succès, Maurice Leblanc est encouragé à écrire la suite par son éditeur. Or, comme l'auteur est perplexe sur la façon de poursuivre les aventures d'un héros qui vient d'être coffré, l'éditeur lui suggère de le faire évader. La saga du gentleman-cambrioleur est née. Plusieurs nouvelles paraissent dans Je sais tout, à intervalles irréguliers, jusqu'en 1907, avant d'être regroupées dan ce volume, lui-même publié en 1907.

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.
