About this ebook
Maurice Leblanc
Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941) was a French novelist and short story writer. Born and raised in Rouen, Normandy, Leblanc attended law school before dropping out to pursue a writing career in Paris. There, he made a name for himself as a leading author of crime fiction, publishing critically acclaimed stories and novels with moderate commercial success. On July 15th, 1905, Leblanc published a story in Je sais tout, a popular French magazine, featuring Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. The character, inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, brought Leblanc both fame and fortune, featuring in 21 novels and short story collections and defining his career as one of the bestselling authors of the twentieth century. Appointed to the Légion d'Honneur, France’s highest order of merit, Leblanc and his works remain cultural touchstones for generations of devoted readers. His stories have inspired numerous adaptations, including Lupin, a smash-hit 2021 television series.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you've picked up /Arsene Lupin Versus Herlock Sholmes/ (also by Wildside Press) already, this book contains nothing new - the only difference between this one and that one is the translator.Personally, I liked the translation in ALVHS much better; the language used in this translation feels a little old-fashioned and pompous sometimes, and makes for far less comfortable reading (which is - well, I don't read these novels because I have to, so that's a pretty big thing to me. Tastes may vary, though).I gave four stars to the other translation - this one gets two-and-a-half because the stories and the mysteries are still good (or even great); it's just the way they're told that pleases me less.
