About this audiobook
Maurice Leblanc
Maurice Leblanc (1864–1941) was best known for his tales featuring the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. Born in Rouen, France, Leblanc was inspired by the success of Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories and invented Lupin as a French adversary for the great detective. Lupin appeared in dozens of novels and short stories and was the basis for several films. Of his great antihero, Leblanc once said, “Lupin follows me everywhere. He is not my shadow. I am his shadow.”

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent story ! I recommend this one for all Arsene Lupin readers
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I’ve still just seen the first ep of LUPIN, but wanted to get a feel for the original Arsène Lupin stories. I haven’t looked at this English vsn alongside the original French, but it feels elegant and fluid, and IMO captures the tone of breezy, brainy wit that the French have adored since the early 1900s. A wonderful British reader takes the tack I prefer with translations of a work like this: he uses British dialects to indicate class differences of characters, and differentiate them. No lame French accents in the English of this recording! Perfect. Thanks, Naxos.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just bump into this book. Love it, especially when he bumped into Sherlock Holmes
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The narrative was so good, twist, turns one happy listener
