A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

French writer Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc (1864 –1941) wrote short stories and novels. He is known primarily as the creator of the gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French Sherlock Holmes. Leblanc was born in Rouen, Normandy. After dropping out of law school, he settled in Paris and to write fiction. His novels were influenced by Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant. Arsène Lupin appeared in stories serialized in the magazine Je Sais Tout, in July 1905. The glamorous Lupin was a success and Leblanc's fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc wrote 21 Lupin novels or collections of short stories. By 1907 Leblanc was write full-length Lupin novels and dedicated much of the remainder of his career to the Lupin series. Leblanc, much like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, appeared to have resented Lupin's success. Leblanc also wrote two science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919), in which a scientist makes televisual contact with three-eyed Venusians, and Le Formidable Evènement (1920), in which an earthquake creates a new landmass between England and France. Leblanc was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his services to literature, and died in 1941.
