Les aventures d'Arsène Lupin, gentleman cambrioleur
Arsène Lupin présente la particularité de se grimer, se maquiller, se déguiser ou même se transformer selon le personnage qu'il incarne. Néanmoins, au naturel, il s'agit, semble-t-il, d'un personnage plutôt élancé, de belle allure et d'une force peu commune, liée à son entraînement. Il fait montre de ses talents dans de nombreuses aventures qui se suivent chronologiquement et ont pour cadre la France de la Belle Époque puis, plus brièvement, celle des Années Folles. Sa répulsion à tuer et son respect des femmes le rendent fort sympathique pour un large public jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Contenu : L'arrestation d'Arsène Lupin Arsène Lupin en prison L'évasion d'Arsène Lupin Le mystérieux voyageur Le Collier de la Reine Le sept de cœur Le coffre-fort de madame Imbert La perle noire Herlock Sholmès arrive trop tard
