Maurice Leblanc

    11. november 1864 – 6. november 1941

    Maurice Leblanc bol francúzsky románopisec, najlepšie známy ako tvorca postavy zlodeja gentlemana (neskôr detektíva) Arsèna Lupina. Leblanc začínal ako novinár, kým nebol požiadaný, aby napísal krátku poviedku ako výplň, a vytvoril postavu galantnejšiu a oslnivejšiu ako jeho anglický náprotivok Sherlock Holmes. Jeho diela sa zaoberajú témami zločinu, spravodlivosti a spoločenskej triedy prostredníctvom šarmantných a dômyselných dobrodružstiev svojho slávneho hrdinu.

    • KEĎ ZLODEJ VYHLÁSI VOJNU PODLIAKOVIPrešibaný lupič Arsene Lupin sa vracia v románe, ktorý drží čitateľa v napätí až do prekvapivého konca.Arsene Lupin nikdy nezaháľa, a ak existuje niečo, čo mu padne do oka, žiadna zámka ho nezastaví. Nie každá lúpež však ide podľa plánu, a keď sa do rúk spravodlivosti dostanú dvaja členovia jeho bandy, rozhodne sa urobiť všetko pre to, aby ich zachránil. V ceste mu stojí podliak Daubrecq a jeho tajomná krištáľová zátka, vďaka ktorej ovláda tých najmocnejších ľudí v krajine. Získať ju nebude také ľahké – o to viac, že Daubrecq súdnym procesom sleduje svoje vlastné ciele. Čas sa kráti a Lupin sa nesnaží len očistiť meno nevinných, ale aj ochrániť ženu, ktorá si získala jeho nepolapiteľné srdce.

      MILOVANÝ AJ NENÁVIDENÝ A STÁLE NA SLOBODE. Pokračovanie príbehov o nepolapiteľnom lupičovi Arsénovi Lupinovi sa opäť nesie v duchu nečakaných zvratov a humorných situácií. Znova stretávame vrchného inšpektora Ganimarda, šéfa la Sureté pána Dudouisa či Sherlocka Holmesa. Ich konflikty sLupinom sú však tentoraz oveľa vyhranenejšie a celková výstavba deja mnohonásobne intenzívnejšia. Lupin, ktorý prekypuje mladistvým elánom a radosťou zo života, dokáže majstrovsky vyskladať dejovú líniu svojho nekalého zámeru tak, aby zo súboja po mnohých peripetiách nakoniec vyšiel ako víťaz. A obdivu sa nedokážu ubrániť ani jeho protivníci. Druhá séria príhod Arsena Lupina obsahuje tri príbehy z výberu autorovej vnučky (Les aventures extraordinaires d'Arsene Lupin, 2011) a šesť nových príbehov (Pekelná pasca, Šál zo šarlátovo červeného hodvábu, Edith s labuťou šijou či Arsene Lupin sa žení a i.), ktoré vyšli v Editions Archipoche pod názvom Les confidences d'Arsene Lupin (2021). Z francúzskeho originálu Les aventures extraordinaires d'Arsene Lupin (2011) a Les confidences d'Arsene Lupin (2021) preložil Štefan Povchanič.

      Nie je zločin ako zločin a tie, ktoré má na svedomí Arsene Lupin, sú plné nečakaných zvratov, veselých momentov a obdivuhodnej zlodejskej šikovnosti, s akou sa mu darí unikať pred spravodlivosťou. Podarí sa nepolapiteľnému lupičovi zvíťaziť aj nad slávnym anglickým vyšetrovateľom? Obaja súperi sú odhodlaní nič tomu druhému nedarovať. Veď v stávke je ich dobrá povesť. Postava Arsena Lupina sa prvýkrát objavila v roku 1906 a jeho neuveriteľné dobrodružstvá zachytáva sedemnásť románov, tridsaťdeväť noviel a poviedok, päť divadelných hier a takmer dvadsiatka filmových adaptácií a divadelných inscenácií.

    • Niezvyčajný súboj, v ktorom sa stretáva bezstarostný a nebojácny francúzsky zlodej s tvrdohlavým a flegmatickým anglickým detektívom, ktorého metódy vždy prinášajú úspech. Niekto ukradne mahagónový stôl z bytu profesora parížskeho gymnázia – a náhodou sa v ňom nachádza šťastný tiket na lotériu – a zmizne. Niekto zabije starého baróna vo vlastnom dome – a zmizne. Niekto ukradne modrý diamant, ktorý predtým patril zavraždenému barónovi – a zmizne. „Keď už úplne nechápem, ako sa to mohlo stať, podozrievam Arsèna Lupina,“ hovorí inšpektor francúzskej polície Ganimard. Poškodení v týchto prípadoch sa rozhodnú požiadať o pomoc Herlocka Sholmesa. O pomoc sa obracia aj barón d’Imblevalle, ktorému ukradli starú židovskú lampu a cenný klenot v nej. V tomto prípade sa Arsène Lupin, tajomne informovaný o Sholmesovej aktivite, niekoľkokrát snaží presvedčiť ho, aby sa do prípadu nezapájal. Ambícia Herlocka Sholmesa však nedovolí ustúpiť, čo vedie k nepredvídaným komplikáciám. V súboji dvoch výnimočných osobností, zlodeja a detektíva, nemožno predvídať víťaza, no keď Sholmes vyhlási Lupinovi vojnu, obidve strany musia dosiahnuť vrchol svojho géniusu.

      Maurice-Marie-Emile Leblanc (1864-1941) was a French novelist and writer of short stories, known primarily as the creator of the fictional gentleman thief and detective Arsene Lupin, often described as a French counterpart to Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. The first Arsene 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. The character of Lupin might have been based by Leblanc on French anarchist Marius Jacob, whose trial made headlines in March 1905; it is also possible that Leblanc had also read Octave Mirbeau's Les 21 Jours d'un Neurasthenique (1901), which features a gentleman thief named Arthur Lebeau. Leblanc also wrote two notable science fiction novels: Les Trois Yeux (1919) and Le Formidable Evenement (1920).

      The Blue Bird For Children: The Wonderful Adventures Of Tyltyl And Mytyl In Search Of Happiness By Georgette Leblanc [Madame Mau
    • Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc (1864-1941) was a French novelist and short story writer, best known for creating the gentleman thief and detective Arsène Lupin, often seen as a French counterpart to Sherlock Holmes. The first Arsène Lupin story was serialized in the magazine Je sais tout starting on July 15, 1905. Leblanc's inspiration may have come from earlier works featuring gentleman thieves. By 1907, he began writing full-length Lupin novels, dedicating much of his career to this character, despite his occasional resentment towards Lupin's popularity. He attempted to create other characters, such as private eye Jim Barnett, but ultimately merged them with Lupin. Leblanc continued to write Lupin stories into the 1930s. He also authored notable science fiction novels, including Les Trois Yeux (1919) and Le Formidable Evènement (1920). Awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his literary contributions, he passed away in Perpignan and is buried in Montparnasse Cemetery. Arsène Lupin, initially named Arsène Lopin until a local politician protested, appeared in 17 novels and 39 novellas, with adaptations in various media. He is a literary descendant of Rocambole and shares traits with E. W. Hornung's A. J. Raffles, influencing later characters like The Lone Wolf and The Saint.

    • The creator of Arsene Lupin, Maurice Leblanc, was born in Rouen in 1864. At the request of a Paris magazine, Je Sais Tout, he began a series of stories featuring the character Lupin, a 'gentleman thief', which appeared in this publication, starting in 1907. The blueprint for this new magazine was England's Strand Magazine in which Conan Doyle had first introduced his character Sherlock Holmes. The stories were wildly successful and later led to plays, TV adaptations and movies. The most memorable of these adaptations for an anglophone audience being the recent (but ongoing) Netflix series Lupin, starring Omar Sy. However, before this, in 1919 Agatha Christie reportedly considered basing her first detective on Lupin. Jean Cocteau wrote about the stories in his diaries, Sartre described Lupin as the Cyrano of the underworld. When Leblanc died in 1941 Ellen Queen pronounced him as the greatest thief in the whole world. Even T. S. Eliot was an avid reader of Lupin stories. The translation by Texeira da Matos is immaculate and reads as effortlessly today as it would have done in 1907 when this collection was first published. The book comprises 9 stories: THE ARREST OF ARSENE LUPIN ARSENE LUPIN IN PRISON THE ESCAPE OF ARSENE LUPIN THE MYSTERIOUS TRAVELLER THE QUEEN'S NECKLACE THE SEVEN OF HEARTS MADAME IMBERT'S SAFE THE BLACK PEARL SHERLOCK HOLMES ARRIVES TOO LATE

      Jedna z najlepszych powieści z Arsne Lupin, napisana tuż przed I wojną światową i wydana w języku angielskim w 1914 r., a dopiero w 1921 r. w zmienionej wersji pojawiła się w języku francuskim. Arsne Lupin jest powszechnie uważany za zmarłego. Zginął w wyniku pożaru razem z hrabiną Kesselbach. Tymczasem u prefekta w Paryżu pojawia się tajemniczy don Luis Perenna, Hiszpan z pochodzenia, przyjaciel zmarłego niedawno Kosmy Morningtona, który zostawił gigantyczny majątek wart 400 milionów franków. Z tego do odziedziczenia przez rodzinę jest połowa. Problem w tym, że zmarły nie miał dzieci, a nie ma także żadnych kontaktów z innymi członkami dziedziczącej rodziny Roussel. W przypadku ich nie znalezienia, 200 milionów franków przypadnie... don Luis Perennie. Tymczasem rodzina odnajduje się, jednak jej dwaj przedstawiciele mają umrzeć w ciągu doby...

    • Tra i boulevard del centro di Parigi, nel primo imbrunire di una giornata identica a mille altre, un gruppo di mutilati e reduci di guerra, spuntati silenziosamente da vie e portoni, accorrono in soccorso di una giovane infermiera e la sottraggono alle grinfie di un bruto che la vuole rapire. C’è qualcosa di davvero strano in quell’aggressione, qualcosa che va al di là di un semplice tentativo di rapimento passionale o vendicativo: quell’azione criminosa non riguarda soltanto “Mamma Coralie”, ma coinvolge anche chi si trova a incrociare il suo cammino. È un autentico mistero e, ancora una volta, sarà Arsène Lupin, con il suo intuito geniale, a trovare il bando-lo della matassa, a risolvere un enigma che affonda le proprie radici in un passato lontano, costellato di delitti ormai dimenticati, intrighi politici, tesori principeschi e malfattori senza scrupoli.
