Arsène Lupin

Maurice Leblanc (1864 – 1941) – a French journalist, publicist, author of historical prose, but he gained real fame thanks to the elegant, witty, and incredibly captivating stories about the noble thief Arsène Lupin, which initially were just a fun literary hobby. In the writer's homeland, there is still an Arsène Lupin festival every year, which gathers fans from around the world. Lupin's adventures continued in novels by other authors, comics, and numerous film adaptations, and in 2021, Netflix released a series about a fan-imitator of the noble thief. Who stole the priceless necklace that once belonged to the French queen? Who will save the young widow who is doomed to become another victim of the frightening belief in the Thirty Graves? Who consistently leaves the police empty-handed, virtuously escaping from any traps? Who is equally good at committing and solving crimes? Of course, it is he – Arsène Lupin, the gentleman thief and talented amateur detective, a master of disguise, a skilled marksman and fencer, a favorite of women, and a brilliant strategist.
