Synopsis "Collector'S Library: The Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief: Maurice le Blanc (Macmillan Collector'S Library, 313)"

The inspiration for the hit Netflix show, Lupin, Arsène Lupin is charming, clever and bold. A master of disguise, he steals from the rich, he outsmarts the police and he's generous to those in need. And above all, he never takes himself too seriously. This French Robin Hood has charmed readers for generations and the stories about his dazzling escapades have been adapted countless times for television, stage and film. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition of The Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief is translated from the French by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos and features an introduction by Emma Bielecki. In the opening stories, Lupin is arrested, only to engineer his own incredible escape. What follows are wonderfully entertaining and action packed stories that finish with a brief encounter with none other than Sherlock Holmes. These stories were first published together in 1907 and this edition of the gentleman thief's very first adventures is the perfect place to start exploring his world of daring escapes, cunning disguises and ambitious heists.

Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc (Ruan, 11 de diciembre de 1864-Perpiñán, 6 de noviembre de 1941), más conocido como Maurice Leblanc, fue un novelista y escritor francés de relatos cortos.

Nacido en el seno de una familia rica, su padre era un rico armador de barcos establecido en Ruan. Luego de terminar sus estudios en Derecho, se dedica a trabajar en distintas industrias de la región. Después de un tiempo sin aplicarse mucho al trabajo industrial, se muda a París, en donde comienza su carrera literaria, desde 1892 aproximadamente hasta 1904. Publica unos diez libros, el primero de ellos titulado: Des Couples (Parejas).

En 1904 Pierre Laffite, director de Je sais Tout, le encargó un cuento para su revista recién fundada. Maurice aceptó el encargo y al poco tiempo le entregó un original titulado «El arresto de Arsène Lupin». Según las palabras del propio autor, este era el único cuento que tenía planeado de Lupin. Sin embargo, a Pierre Laffite el personaje le causó una fuerte impresión y animó a Leblanc a desarrollar al personaje.

Así, con cuarenta años y un prestigio literario ganado por sus anteriores obras, nace de la mano de Leblanc Arséne Lupin, un ladrón de guante blanco, cuya obra se compone de casi 20 libros.
