Description
ArsA"ne Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes (1910) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc. Forced to change the name of his antagonist following a legal challenge by Holmesâ?T creator, Leblanc still manages to pull off one of the greatest fictional mashups of all time. Partly based on the life of French anarchist Marius Jacob, ArsA"ne Lupin first appeared in print in 1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyleâ?Ts Sherlock Holmes. Blending crime fiction, fantasy, and mystery, Leblanc crafts original and entertaining tales of adventure starring one of the greatest literary characters of all timeâ?"ArsA"ne Lupin, gentleman thief. ArsA"ne Lupin is the worldâ?Ts greatest thief, an unmatched force for good whose exploits threaten the wealth and standing of Franceâ?Ts most wicked men. In this installment of Leblancâ?Ts beloved series, Lupin uses his remarkable wit and chameleon-like ability to move undetected through aristocratic society in order to steal, trick, and cheat his way through life. Despite his criminal nature, he operates under a strict moral code, only taking from those who have taken from the poor all their lives. In this novel, Lupin forces French authorities to bring in an investigator capable of put a stop to his escapades. Across the English Channel comes Herlock Sholmes, the legendary British detective, and his trusted assistant Wilson. Although they are of a different breed than their adversary, who remains focused and stoic throughout, Sholmes and Wilson, despite their humorous outlook, prove more than capable of catching the gentleman thief. ArsA"ne Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes is a story of romance, mystery, and crime that continues to astound over a century after it was published. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Maurice Leblancâ?Ts ArsA"ne Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
