RACCONTO LUNGO (27 pagine) - GIALLO - Riuscira il piu grande investigatore britannico a incastrare Arsenio Lupin? Il gioco e cominciato! La fama del genio di Herlock Sholmes era seconda, forse, solo a quella di Arsenio Lupin. Il piu straordinario decifratore di enigmi che il mondo avesse mai visto, il prodigioso personaggio che sembrava forgiato in ogni sua parte dallimmaginazione di uno scrittore, era stato chiamato alcastello di Thibermesnil dove, si temeva, il famigerato ladro gentiluomo progettava un furto. Per Arsenio Lupin una sfida impossibile da non cogliere: ma non sarebbe stata lunica sorpresa che laspettava. Maurice Marie Emile Leblance conosciuto principalmente quale creatore del ladro gentiluomo Arsenio Lupin, personaggio popolarissimo anche nel nostro paese.Nato a Rouen l11 novembre 1864,studia in vari paesi ma finisce per abbandonare gli studi in legge per fare lo scrittore. Stabilitosi a Parigi comincia a scrivere racconti gialli, ma anche se riceve un certo apprezzamento dalla critica non riesce a farsi notare dal pubblico. Finche nel 1905 non pubblica il primo racconto con Arsenio Lupin. Sono gli anni del grande successo di Sherlock Holmes e lintrigante ladro gentiluomo, in qualche modo una risposta francese al detective britannico, porta immediatamente Leblanc al successo. Leblanc scrive racconti e novelle incentrate su Lupin e questa volta assieme alle buone critiche ottiene successo e gratificazione economica, finendo per dedicare la sua intera carriera esclusivamente al suo personaggio.Nel 1921 viene premiato con la Legion dOnore per la sua opera. Muore a Perpignan nel 1941. Dal 1947 e sepolto nel cimitero di Montparnasse a Parigi.

"...The rays of the September sun flooded the great halls of the old chateau of the Dukes of Charmerace, lighting up with their mellow glow the spoils of so many ages and many lands, jumbled together with the execrable taste which so often afflicts those whose only standard of value is money. The golden light warmed the panelled walls and old furniture to a dull lustre, and gave back to the fading gilt of the First Empire chairs and couches something of its old brightness. It illumined the long line of pictures on the walls, pictures of dead and gone Charmeraces, the stern or debonair faces of the men, soldiers, statesmen, dandies, the gentle or imperious faces of beautiful women. It flashed back from armour of brightly polished steel, and drew dull gleams from armour of bronze. The hues of rare porcelain, of the rich inlays of Oriental or Renaissance cabinets, mingled with the hues of the pictures, the tapestry, the Persian rugs about the polished floor to fill the hall with a rich glow of colour..."

Afin de pouvoir épouser Isabel, la fille de Lord Bakefield, pair du royaume d''Angleterre, Simon Dubosc accepte le défi fou de devenir, en moins de vingt jours, l''égal de Guillaume le Conquérant. Face a l''impossible, Simon n''a plus d''autres solutions que de s''enfuir en compagnie d''Isabel. Mais le destin pourrait lui donner le coup de pouce qui lui manque pour accomplir sa mission, sous la forme de ce qui restera dans les esprits comme un formidable evenement.Roman meconnu de Maurice Leblanc (le createur du celebre Arsene Lupin), dans lequel l''aventure le dispute a l''inventivite et a la justesse de vue, Le formidable evenement montre de maniere eclatante que la science-fiction de l''entre-deux-guerres n''etait pas l''apanage des Etats-Unis.

On the 8th of December last, M. Gerbois, professor of mathematics at Versailles College, rummaging among the stores at a second-hand dealers, discovered a small mahogany writing-desk, which took his fancy because of its many drawers."Thats just what I want for Suzannes birthday," he thought.M. Gerbois means were limited and, anxious as he was to please his daughter, he felt it his duty to beat the dealer down. He ended by paying sixty-five francs. As he was writing down his address, a well-groomed and well-dressed young man, who had been hunting through the shop in every direction, caught sight of the writing-desk and asked:"How much for this?""Its sold," replied the dealer."Oh ... to this gentleman?"M. Gerbois bowed and, feeling all the happier that one of his fellow-men envied him his purchase, left the shop. But he had not taken ten steps in the street before the young man caught him up and, raising his hat, said, very politely:"I beg a thousand pardons, sir ... I am going to ask you an indiscreet question.... Were you looking for this desk rather than anything else?""No. I went to the shop to see if I could find a cheap set of scales for my experiments.""Therefore, you do not want it very particularly?""I want it, thats all.""Because its old I suppose?""Because its useful.""In that case, would you mind exchanging it for another desk, quite as useful, but in better condition?""This one is in good condition and I see no point in exchanging it.""Still ..."M. Gerbois was a man easily irritated and quick to take offense. He replied curtly:"I must ask you to drop the subject, sir."The young man placed himself in front of him."I dont know how much you paid, sir ... but I offer you double the price.""No, thank you.""Three times the price.""Oh, that will do," exclaimed the professor, impatiently. "The desk belongs to me and is not for sale."The young man stared at him with a look that remained imprinted on M. Gerbois memory, then turned on his heel, without a word, and walked away.

"Lupin," I said, "tell me something about yourself.""Why, what would you have me tell you? Everybody knows my life!" replied Lupin, who lay drowsing on the sofa in my study."Nobody knows it!" I protested. "People know from your letters in the newspapers that you were mixed up in this case, that you started that case. But the part which you played in it all, the plain facts of the story, the upshot of the mystery: these are things of which they know nothing.""Pooh! A heap of uninteresting twaddle!""What! Your present of fifty thousand francs to Nicolas Dugrivals wife! Do you call that uninteresting? And what about the way in which you solved the puzzle of the three pictures?"Lupin laughed:"Yes, that was a queer puzzle, certainly. I can suggest a title for you if you like: what do you say to The Sign of the Shadow?""And your successes in society and with the fair sex?" I continued. "The dashing Arsenes love-affairs!... And the clue to your good actions? Those chapters in your life to which you have so often alluded under the names of The Wedding-ring, Shadowed by Death, and so on!... Why delay these confidences and confessions, my dear Lupin?... Come, do what I ask you!..."It was at the time when Lupin, though already famous, had not yet fought his biggest battles; the time that preceded the great adventures of The Hollow Needle and 813. He had not yet dreamt of annexing the accumulated treasures of the French Royal House nor of changing the map of Europe under the Kaisers nose: he contented himself with milder surprises and humbler profits, making his daily effort, doing evil from day to day and doing a little good as well, naturally and for the love of the thing, like a whimsical and compassionate Don Quixote.

It was a strange ending to a voyage that had commenced in a most auspicious manner. The transatlantic steamship `La Provence was a swift and comfortable vessel, under the command of a most affable man. The passengers constituted a select and delightful society. The charm of new acquaintances and improvised amusements served to make the time pass agreeably. We enjoyed the pleasant sensation of being separated from the world, living, as it were, upon an unknown island, and consequently obliged to be sociable with each other.Have you ever stopped to consider how much originality and spontaneity emanate from these various individuals who, on the preceding evening, did not even know each other, and who are now, for several days, condemned to lead a life of extreme intimacy, jointly defying the anger of the ocean, the terrible onslaught of the waves, the violence of the tempest and the agonizing monotony of the calm and sleepy water? Such a life becomes a sort of tragic existence, with its storms and its grandeurs, its monotony and its diversity; and that is why, perhaps, we embark upon that short voyage with mingled feelings of pleasure and fear.

Maurice Leblanc Les Confidences d'Arsène Lupin «Allô, le service de la Sûreté ? M. l'inspecteur principal Ganimard est-il ici ?… Pas avant vingt minutes ? Dommage !… Enfin !… Quand il sera là, vous lui direz ceci de la part de Mme Dugrival… Oui, Mme Nicolas Dugrival… Vous lui direz qu'il vienne chez moi. Il ouvrira la porte de mon armoire à glace et, cette porte ouverte, il constatera que l'armoire cache une issue qui fait communiquer ma chambre avec deux pièces. Dans l'une d'elles, il y a un homme solidement ligoté. C'est le voleur, l'assassin de Dugrival. Vous ne me croyez pas ? Avertissez M. Ganimard. Il me croira, lui. Ah ! J'oubliais le nom de l'individu… Arsène Lupin !»

In "The Teeth of the Tiger", Maurice Leblanc delivers another Arsene Lupin adventure set in World War I. Arsene Lupin is the French counterpart to the English Sherlock Holmes, a sincere hero who has failings, which ender him to the reader. This romance and adventure/thriller is by far the best of the Lupin series."The Teeth of the Tiger" tells the story of the final Will of a man named Mornington, who, in the year 1900, left behind the sum of $400 million francs. Of that, three-fourths went to his adopted country - which left $100 million francs to be distributed to his heirs. The executor of the estate was Morningtons friend, Don Luis Perenna (AKA Arsene Lupin). The problem, however, was that no one knew where (or even who) some of the heirs were. If no heirs were to be found within 3 months, the entire $100 million francs would go to Perenna. And Lupin had a reputation as being something of a rogue. It is definitely a race against time, as the heirs seem to be turning up dead at an alarming rate.
