Beschreibung zu „The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin“

It was a strange ending to a voyage that had commenced in a most auspicious manner. The transatlantic steamship `La Provence' was a swift and comfortable vessel, under the command of a most affable man. The passengers constituted a select and delightful society. The charm of new acquaintances and improvised amusements served to make the time pass agreeably. We enjoyed the pleasant sensation of being separated from the world, living, as it were, upon an unknown island, and consequently obliged to be sociable with each other.
Have you ever stopped to consider how much originality and spontaneity emanate from these various individuals who, on the preceding evening, did not even know each other, and who are now, for several days, condemned to lead a life of extreme intimacy, jointly defying the anger of the ocean, the terrible onslaught of the waves, the violence of the tempest and the agonizing monotony of the calm and sleepy water? Such a life becomes a sort of tragic existence, with its storms and its grandeurs, its monotony and its diversity; and that is why, perhaps, we embark upon that short voyage with mingled feelings of pleasure and fear.

Über Maurice Leblanc

Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941) creó Arsène Lupin en 1905 como protagonista de un cuento para una revista francesa. Hasta entonces, Leblanc había estudiado derecho, trabajaba en la empresa familiar y había escrito algunos libros de poco éxito. Sin embargo, Lupin se convirtió en uno de los personajes más célebres de la literatura policíaca. Es un ladrón de guante blanco, culto y seductor, que roba a los malos. Es el protagonista de veinte novelas y relatos y sus aventuras lo han convertido también en héroe de películas y series para televisión. Para muchos, las historias de Arsène Lupin son la versión francesa de Sherlock Holmes.
