Arsène Lupin
The Gentleman Thief
Büchergilde Gutenberg
novel by Maurice Leblanc
Translation Martin Barkawitz
Nine highly entertaining exploits of Arsène Lupin, the cult literary figure of the fin de siècle!
Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief and master of disguise, excels in fast-paced exchanges with his opponents. Intrigues, red herrings, deception, and betrayal—nothing can harm the master thief.
Even a stay in the notorious Paris prison does not prevent him from carrying out his thieving plans.
Lupin conducts his business gallantly, stealing magnificent diamonds, expensive paintings, and explosive documents. Only one thing upsets the art connoisseur and painter:
his love for a woman.
