Product Description

The suave adventures of a gentleman rogue—a French Thomas Crown
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.

Customer Review: Great Intro to the Gentleman-Theif of all time!

I have read Arsene Lupin in other languages; and this volume is great for those who are curious about A.L. He is definitely more dashing than Sherlock Holmes, and the stories are more psychologically or "humanly" involved.
