Produktbeschreibung
The Hollow Needle written by Maurice Leblanc chronicles the exploits of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. This was first published as a serial in the French magazine Je sais tout from November 1908 to May 1909, just like the first two volumes of Arsène Lupin's stories. With a few changes, it was published in June 1909 and the book has a plot of Isidore Beautrelet, a youthful but talented amateur investigator still in high school but who is ready to cause Arsène Lupin a lot of trouble, is Arsène Lupin's opponent this time. The second secret of Marie Antoinette and Alessandro Cagliostro, the secret wealth of the French monarchy, is given to Arsène Lupin by Josephine Balsamo in the book The Countess of Cagliostro. This is the world of Arsène Lupin (1924). Since the time of Julius Caesar, the Kings of France have been passing down a secret, which Arsène Lupin has now learned, in The Mystery of the Hollow Needle. The fabled needle has the most incredible riches one could conceive, including the money of the French monarchs and a collection of pearls, diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and queens' dowries.
Autorenporträt
Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc (1864 - 1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. Leblanc was largely considered little more than a writer of short stories for various French periodicals when the first Arsène Lupin story appeared in a series of short stories serialized in the magazine Je Sais Tout, starting in No. 6, dated 15 July 1905. Clearly created at editorial request under the influence of and in reaction to, the wildly successful Sherlock Holmes stories, the roguish and glamorous Lupin was a surprise success and Leblanc's fame and fortune beckoned. In total, Leblanc went on to write twenty-one Lupin novels or collections of short stories.
