This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Maurice LeBlanc's 'Gentleman Thief' who is part crime-solving (and crime-committing) mastermind, part prince of romance. First appeared in novels and short stories, starting in 1905. The Lupin stories were meant as a reversal of the detective stories who were massively popular at the time. Lupin is instead the criminal. Stories tend to vary from following various detectives in their attempts to stop Lupin or figure out what he did, or to Lupin facing other villains. Other stories even have Lupin looking for lost treasures. Part of the books successes is due to Lupin's status as a Master of Disguise: When opening a book, one is never sure WHO is Lupin in this story. Is he the victim's guest? The Detective's assistant? The narrator himself? Lupin's status as a criminal is balanced by his trademark gentlemanly behavior, allowing him to come off as rather heroic rather than a villain. |
