Beschreibung
The Hollow Needle is one of Maurice Leblanc's best-known novels. In it the famous gentleman-burglar and master of disguises Arsène Lupin finds himself playing an intense game of cat and mouse with the young, surprisingly apt amateur-detective Isidore Beautrelet. Old foes Detective Ganimard and the famous English detective Holmlock Shears (so renamed to avoid copyright infringement) also make appearances. Lupin is chasing the most valuable object he has ever had the opportunity to steal: the Hollow Needle, which hides unfathomable treasure and a secret that the kings of France have been handing down since the time of Julius Caesar. Lupin has been depicted in countless film and stage adaptions, most recently as the inspiration of the Netflix series, Lupin, starring Omar Sy. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed chronology of Leblanc's life and work, as well as the eulogy he wrote for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Über den Autor
Maurice Le Blanc, a fictitious gentleman thief and detective who is sometimes compared to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, was created by Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc (11 December 1864 - 6 November 1941), a French novelist and short story writer. Leblanc may have also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 jours d'un neurasthénique (1901), which contains a gentleman thief by the name of Arthur Lebeau, and seen Mirbeau's comedy Scrupules (1902), whose primary character is a gentleman thief. By 1907, Leblanc had advanced to penning full-length Lupin novels, and thanks to favorable reviews and strong sales, he practically devoted the remainder of his career to producing Lupin tales. Leblanc also seems to have disliked Lupin's popularity, much like Conan Doyle, who frequently felt embarrassed or constrained by the success of Sherlock Holmes and seemed to regard his success in the field of crime fiction as a detraction from his more "respectable" artistic objectives. He made several attempts to develop additional characters, such as the PI Jim Barnett, but in the end, combined them with Lupin. He wrote Lupin stories all the way into the 1930s.
