About this ebook

Arsène Lupin versus Herlock Sholmes by Maurice Leblanc is the second collection of Arsène Lupin stories and one of the greatest masterpieces of French literature. The character "Herlock Sholmes" (an anagram of Sherlock Holmes, the famous fictional detective created by Arthur Conan Doyle) appears in the last stories in the first collection, Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Burglar. Lupin is an enigmatic, preternatural criminal; an unstoppable thief who's planning defies any attempts at capture. He mostly chooses worthy targets to catch in his web of deception. The brilliant, mischievous, French gentleman thief matches wits with the brilliant British detective. Come for the slick Parisian action scenes and the charming leading man, stay for the Regency-era plot. 
If you enjoy a good heist and appreciate an elegant twist, go ahead and let Lupin steal a few hours of your time.

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.
