"Arsène Lupin, gentleman-burglar" (Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur, 1907) — the first in a series of detective stories by the French writer Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941). First published in the magazine "Je sais tout" in July 1905, they brought their author worldwide fame. The hero of nine novellas is an unparalleled thief, a kind of "rolling stone," who is guided only by his own code of honor and, most importantly, never accustomed to retreat. His adventures gain considerable intrigue when it comes to a sort of game of "cops and robbers," and an invincible English detective, Sherlock Holmes, rises in the path of the ingenious adventurer. Will the gentleman-burglar outsmart the famous gentleman from Baker Street (though his name is changed — by the way, due to a protest from Conan Doyle — it is not hard to understand that it is indeed about him!)? Regardless, millions of fans of Maurice Leblanc and his charming hero Arsène Lupin have been wondering for almost a century how this duel will end, and, in fact, it is still ongoing. A wonderful entertainment for lovers of a gripping plot and beautiful language at the same time.
