Arsene Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes (1910) is a novel by Maurice
Leblanc. Forced to change the name of his antagonist following a
legal challenge by Holmes' 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, Arsene Lupin first
appeared in print in 1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's
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 time-Arsene
Lupin, gentleman thief. Arsene Lupin is the world's greatest thief,
an unmatched force for good whose exploits threaten the wealth and
standing of France's most wicked men. In this installment of
Leblanc's 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. Arsene
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 Leblanc's Arsene Lupin vs
Herlock Sholmes is a classic of French literature reimagined for
modern readers.
