About the book: 2001 / "Arsene Lupine, the Noble Robber" (1907) - the first in a series of detective stories by the French writer Maurice Leblanc (1864— 1941), which brought their author world fame. A master robber, obeying only his own code of honor, never gives up. And the game of “cops and thieves” becomes especially exciting when the invincible English detective Herlock Sholmes stands in his way. Will the gentleman robber be able to outmaneuver the famous gentleman from Baker Street (after all, it is not difficult to recognize him under a slightly changed name)? Be that as it may, millions of fans of Maurice Leblanc and his most charming hero Arsene Lupine have been following the progress of this fight for almost a century.
