The Adventures of Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief

The inspiration for the hit Netflix show, Lupin, Arsène Lupin is charming, clever, and bold. This French Robin Hood has charmed readers for generations.

A master of disguise, Lupin steals from the rich, he outsmarts the police, and he's generous to those in need. And above all, he never takes himself too seriously. In the opening stories, Lupin is arrested, only to engineer his own incredible escape. What follows are wonderfully entertaining and action packed tales that finish with a brief encounter with none other than Sherlock Holmes. These stories were first published together in 1907 and this edition of the gentleman thief's very first adventures is the perfect place to start exploring his world of daring escapes, cunning disguises, and ambitious heists.
