A real gift for all lovers of offbeat detective stories and adventures - nine of the earliest Arsène Lupin novels with watercolor retro illustrations!
Arsène Lupin is a mysterious figure, an elusive robber who keeps the wealthy of France in fear. His handwriting is recognizable because he always covers his tracks and erases his identity, and anyone who says that here he is Arsène Lupin is wrong. After all, every case of Arsène Lupin - whether it is the theft of paintings, incredibly expensive jewelry or even a rare book - is a carefully planned trick, mystification, trick. Everyone will be deceived, because most often he hides under the guise of someone who is in plain sight: one of the unremarkable fellow travelers or interlocutors. He appears where he can not be, and also unexpectedly disappears. In the book - nine short stories written by Maurice Leblanc at the very beginning of the XX century and representing the first adventures of Arsène Lupin. The first story, "The Arrest of Arsène Lupin," was published in July 1905 in the newspaper Je sais tout. Immediately after its success, the publisher inspired Leblanc to write a sequel - so was born a series of short stories about a gentleman robber. Vincent Malle gave the protagonist a new image, and watercolor and ink kept the mystery. They revitalize the adventures of the famous robber and together with a beautiful cover, quality paper and detective story make the book a great gift, which can be put on the most prominent place on the bookshelf immediately after reading.
