作者简介

Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941), a distinguished French novelist and writer, emerged as a seminal figure in the realm of detective fiction, known predominantly for his creation of the gentleman thief and detective, Arsène Lupin. Born in Rouen, Normandy, Leblanc began his literary career as a journalist and writer of short stories before shifting to novels, which earned him greater acclaim. His foray into the genre of crime fiction undoubtedly peaked with the introduction of Arsène Lupin in a series of short stories starting in 1905, which later evolved into a series of novels. The interplay between Lupin and Sherlock Holmes led to Leblanc's enduring popularity, culminating in an illustrious oeuvre that cemented his place in the pantheon of great crime novelists. One of his later works, 'The Secret of Sarek' (Le Secret de Sarek, 1920), epitomizes Leblanc's adeptness at weaving intricate plots replete with mystery and adventure, remaining true to the spirit of the Lupin series. Leblanc was praised for his rich and vivid storytelling, often infusing his narratives with humor and a touch of irony, and his ability to create multi-dimensional characters. He is credited with significantly contributing to the detective genre, influencing numerous writers and leaving a legacy that endures in the numerous adaptations of the charming and clever Arsène Lupin.
