The Confessions of Arsene Lupin (1913) is a collection of short
stories by Maurice Leblanc. 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. Partly based on the life of
French anarchist Marius Jacob, Lupin first appeared in print in
1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.
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. When Baron Repstein, a
powerful businessman, has his fortune stolen by a faithless wife,
Arsene Lupin casts doubt on his tale of betrayal. Securing a
deathbed confession via code from the Baron's closest associate,
Lupin makes his way to Repstein's home, where he introduces himself
and proceeds to reveal the shocking truth. Other stories in the
collection include "The wedding-ring," "The red silk scarf," and "A
Tragedy in the Forest of Morgues." The Confessions of Arsene Lupin
contains tales of romance, mystery, and crime that continue to
astound over a century after they were published. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Maurice Leblanc's The Confessions of Arsene Lupin
is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.
