This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Autorenporträt
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.
