Arsène Lupin is a character of fiction French created by Maurice Leblanc at the beginning of the 20th century, with the particular profession: gentleman-burglar.

Biography

Arsène Raoul Lupin was born in 1874, wire of Henriette d' Andrésy and Théophraste Lupin.

In addition to studies of Right, Medicine and a dermatological specialization, it makes also traditional studies of Latin and Greek. He also studied the Prestidigitation, with Dickson and Pickmann. His/her father, professor of Boxing, Gymnastic Fencing and , initiated it with the sports of combat and its first trade will be professor of Jiu-Jitsu.

This Robin of Wood modern, or like known as Sartre, “Cyrano of the underworld”, puts its intelligence, its physical force, its coolness and its roublardise with the help of “persecuted innocence”. It is also an elegant and tempting man, very appreciated women. He can show himself of an irony without equal with regard to his rival and police force (mainly the Ganimard inspector and the British detective Herlock Sholmes, without speaking about the Béchoux sergeant, with whom he maintains a turbid report/ratio). Its childish side as well as a darker face, its constant pussyfooting between aristocracy (its side Raoul d' Andrésy) and plebs (the face Arsene Lupin), an at the same time tempting, tortured and mysterious character, have its success near many readers to him.

It makes watch of its talents in many adventures which are followed chronologically and had as a framework the France of the Belle Time then, more briefly, that of the Mad years. No enigma resists the perspicacity of the hero, even if nobody succeeded in solving this one since the fall of Kings de France, as in the Needle digs .

In addition to the series of the novels and collections of original news of Maurice Leblanc, it often was also represented with the cinema and on television. He was sung besides by Jacques Dutronc to accompany the Televised series by years 1960/1970 with Georges Descrières. " It is largest of the robbers, yes, but it is a gentleman" , the singer on this occasion pleads. Jean-Claude Brialy was another talented interpreter of the gentleman-burglar, after André Brulé in the contemporary parts of the author, Maurice Leblanc.

Indeed, its repulsion to be killed and its respect of the women make it strong sympathetic nerve for many people until today: it restores certain stolen jewels with pretty women for little that a smile moved it. Charmer, it does not hesitate to entrust to be rejected sometimes for less valid rivals: he is not an infallible seducer, which gives him a dimension more human than many other heroes of literature.

He also shows patriotism, in particular during the episodes located during the First World War. He takes the initiative of several diplomatic operations in favor of France which according to him would have changed the course of the war. He engaged in the Foreign legion and fought with the service of France in North Africa ( teeth of the tiger ).
