Produktbeschreibung
At long last, Arsène Lupin sets his sights on the fourth and final secret of Cagliostro: the God-Stone of the Kings of Bohemia, a miraculous stone that has the power "to give life and death," hidden on the island of Sarek, nicknamed the "Island of the Thirty Coffins" because of its barrier of deadly reefs. In The Island of the Thirty Coffins (1919), Arsène Lupin is summoned back to France in May 1917 by one of his friends and travels to the accursed island of Sarek off the coat of Brittany to save the beautiful Veronique d'Hergemont from the clutches of the murderous Vorski. Fraught with terror and supernatural perils, The Island of the Thirty Coffins is one of Maurice Leblanc's best thrillers. Retranslated here for the first time, this edition also includes an all-new epilogue written especially by noted lupinologist Jean-Marc Lofficier.
Autorenporträt
Maurice Leblanc was a French author who lived from 1864 to 1941 and was one of the first people to write mystery stories. He is best known for creating the famous character Ars ne Lupin, a smart and stylish gentleman thief who is often compared to Sherlock Holmes in France. The first Ars ne Lupin stories by Leblanc came out in the early 1900s and quickly became very popular thanks to their smart plots, wit, and likeable main character. In Leblanc's body of work, "The Teeth of the Tiger" stands out. This book is different from the Ars ne Lupin series. It's an exciting and suspenseful story set in the early days of World War I, when there is espionage and political intrigue going on. A story called "The Teeth of the Tiger" is about three friends who get caught up in a web of political plots, foreign espionage, and secret codes. Leblanc cleverly mixes mystery, adventure, and espionage to make a gripping story that shows how worried and uncertain people were during the war.
