The Hollow Needle; Further adventures of Arsène Lupin

Beschreibung

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.

Autor

Maurice Leblanc was a French author who lived from 1864 to 1941 and was one of the first people to write mystery stories. He is best known for creating the famous character Ars ne Lupin, a smart and stylish gentleman thief who is often compared to Sherlock Holmes in France. The first Ars ne Lupin stories by Leblanc came out in the early 1900s and quickly became very popular thanks to their smart plots, wit, and likeable main character. In Leblanc's body of work, "The Teeth of the Tiger" stands out. This book is different from the Ars ne Lupin series. It's an exciting and suspenseful story set in the early days of World War I, when there is espionage and political intrigue going on. A story called "The Teeth of the Tiger" is about three friends who get caught up in a web of political plots, foreign espionage, and secret codes. Leblanc cleverly mixes mystery, adventure, and espionage to make a gripping story that shows how worried and uncertain people were during the war.
