Produktbeschreibung

"Years after his first appearance, Fantômas is still scary." The Washington Post
"A brilliant criminal ... a great romp." San Francisco Chronicle
A noblewoman is hacked to death in her chateau, a Russian princess is boldly robbed in a posh hotel, and a lord's lifeless body is found stuffed inside a trunk. Everyone recognizes the deeds of Fantômas, a master of disguise whose daring and diabolical crimes paralyze Parisians with terror. One man has sworn to bring the phantom killer to justice: Inspector Juve, who ventures from dark alleys to brilliant salons in his relentless pursuit of the evil genius.
The first in a series of wildly popular French thrillers, Fantômas created a sensation in pre-WWI Europe. The original pulp fiction, its appeal transcended every level of society. Cocteau, Colette, and Picasso were avid readers, and subsequent generations of artists, writers, and musicians have drawn inspiration from this enduringly stylish and suspenseful novel.

Autorenporträt

French authors Marcel Allain (1885-1969) and Pierre Souvestre (1874-1914) created the Fantômas character in 1911, at the request of their publisher. The writing team collaborated on more than 30 Fantômas adventures, until Souvestre's death in 1914. Allain then continued the series alone, writing another 11 books featuring the arch-criminal.
