The Blonde Lady

Maurice Leblanc

Book Overview: 

In “The Blonde Lady, being a record of the duel of wits between Arsène Lupin and the English detective” – original title “Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmes” – the gentleman-burglar once more meets his enemy, the English detective Herlock Sholmes. If in the last story of “Arsène Lupin, gentleman-burglar” Sherlock Holmes arrives too late (the name was at a later date changed to Herlock Sholmes in reply to complaints and threats by Conan Doyle regarding copyrights), in the two stories that compose “The Blonde Lady” these two great intellects are bound in opposite directions. Where one chooses to abide to the law, the other uses his power and wits to crime – and who is going to win?

The blue diamond was sold at the Hôtel Drouot on the thirtieth of January. The auction-room was crammed and the bidding proceeded madly.

All Paris, the Paris of the first nights and great public functions, was there, all those who buy and all those who like others to think that they are in a position to buy: stockbrokers, artists, ladies in every class of society, two members of the Government, an Italian tenor, a king in exile who, in order to reëstablish his credit, with great self-possession and in a resounding voice, permitted himself the luxury of running up the price to a hundred thousand francs.

Lupin debe ser uno de los personajes más audaces e icónicos de los clásicos policiacos. Me encanta su concepto, su personalidad, y fue interesante ver otras facetas de él en este libro gracias a su némesis: Herlock Sholmes.

De unde sa incep?... Intriga politista este buna, desi uneori puerila chiar neverosimila, tocmai din acest motiv am dat doar doua stele.
Ceea ce este foarte trist, in ceea ce-l priveste pe Arsene Lupin, este ca are drept adversar pe cea mai patetica versiune a lui Sherlock Holmes. Dupa cum bine se s
