Produktbeschreibung
Arsène Lupin, the prodigious gentleman-burglar created in 1905 by Maurice Leblanc, has become an enduring myth who, like his counterpart and cherished foe, Sherlock Holmes, has inspired many pastiches over the years. This collection offers two, never before translated Arsène Lupin tales by Maurice Leblanc, plus nineteen other stories, including five written especially for this volume. A host of celebrated writers, such as Thomas Narcejac, the author of Diabolique and Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, Edgar- and Hugo-Award winner Anthony Boucher, French playwright André Mouëzy-Éon, Canadian science fiction author Jean-Louis Trudel, Belgian author Alain le Bussy, French author Xavier Mauméjean, and many others take Lupin from the shadowy Rue Morgue in Paris to the bustling streets of Saigon and the smoky dens of Casablanca. Watch the indomitable gentleman-burglar use his gallic charm to cross swords with Sherlock Holmes, the Phantom of the Opera, vampires and nazis -- and even the Devil himself!
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.
