Arsène Lupin. Arsenio Lupin. His surname means wolf French.
is one of the most charismatic literary characters have been created, even ahead of Sherlock Holmes, even though it is more popular. But if there were Sherlock Holmes was probably nobody would have written anything about Lupin. Between cinema and theater have made his popularity spread, but not quite convey the essence of the books. Even made an anime named Arsenio Lupin 3D, or something.
Romain Duris, the golden boy of French cinema of the time, starred in the latest version of Arsene Lupin. The medium I have seen, but at the moment is not bad.
But let's start by author: Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941). French, born in Rouen. He studied law and worked in the company of his father against his will. Later it became known in Paris with analytical novels, which earned him the respect and protection of Guy de Maupassant. Leblanc became famous for his character of Arsene Lupin, which first appeared in a monthly publication called Je sais tout between 1905 and 1907, with the title of Arsenio Lupin, gentleman burglar . Since then, he devoted himself almost exclusively to the adventures of his hero in countless novels and collections of short stories.
I mean, what I wanted was to write psychological works and his editor, seeing that they were not sold, urged him to write something more like mass audience, as did Arthur Conan London with his Sherlock Holmes. Leblanc, and was upset or motivated (or both) by the example that he had proposed to follow, decided to create a totally opposed to the British detective.
needed a lot of charisma, that for granted. It should also have a lot of culture and be smarter than Holmes, but with completely opposite moral ideas. Another teacher at the time of dressing up, but much more charming than Sherlock. Someone who does not feel remorse at the crime, but it elegantly RICE. And definitely not a misogynist repression, but a mysterious and seductive lover. And, of course, that never caught.
And how can a man robbing the mansions and museums of Paris XIX? Very simple: steal six years a diamond necklace which he wished the very Marie Antoinette, your father died before you were born and your mother also died when he was twelve. In these circumstances it is easy to turn against the hypocrisy of high society and making fun of her stealing in their very same face.
That is, more or less, the history of Arsenio Lupin. Of course, this is not his real name.
Finally, leave something in the first chapter of Arsenio Lupin, gentleman burglar :
Arsenio Lupin among us! Between us, the cunning thief whose exploits were reported by all newspapers for several months! The enigmatic character with whom the old Ganimard, number one of the Paris police had brought that fight to the death of whose adventures were developed so colorful way! Arsenio Lupin, the gentleman whimsical but not operating in castles and in the classroom, and, after penetrating a night at the Baron of Schorm, had left the house empty handed, leaving a card, in which wrote: Arsenio Lupin, high-class thief, back when they are authentic furniture.
