Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmès

"Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmès" is a collection of two stories written by Maurice Leblanc in 1908. The book introduces the character of Arsène Lupin, a French gentleman burglar who is a foil to Herlock Sholmès, a British detective who resembles Sherlock Holmes. Lupin is portrayed as exuberant, chivalrous, generous, and expansive, while Sholmès is depicted as cold, calculating, and a bit stuck-up. In the first story, "The Blonde Lady," Lupin steals a secretary containing a winning lottery ticket worth one million francs. The book is a classic example of French detective fiction and a must-read for anyone interested in the genre.
