Synopsis "Les Trois Yeux (in French)"

Victorien Beaugrand (le narrateur) séjourne chez son oncle Noël Dorgeroux à Meudon, en attendant sa nomination comme professeur à Grenoble. Il y entretient une idylle avec Bérangère, la filleule de cet oncle. Dorgeroux, chercheur solitaire qui travaille dans le secret au fond d'un hangar de son enclos, va le mettre au courant d'une découverte fantastique qui l'a bouleversé. Un pan de mur mystérieux que le chercheur dissimule habituellement sous un voile noir fait apparaître, une fois activé, trois figures d'apparence géométrique ressemblant aussi bien à des ronds mal faits qu'à des triangles composés de lignes courbes. Au centre de ces figures s'inscrivait un cercle régulier, marqué, dans le milieu, d'un point plus noir, ainsi que la prunelle est marquée d'une pupille. ...

Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc (Rouen, December 11, 1864-Perpignan, November 6, 1941), better known as Maurice Leblanc, was a French novelist and short story writer

Born into a wealthy family, his father was a rich shipowner based in Rouen. After finishing his law studies, he dedicated himself to working in various industries in the region. After a while not applying himself much to industrial work, he moved to Paris, where he began his literary career, from around 1892 until 1904. He published about ten books, the first of which was titled: Des Couples (Couples).

In 1904, Pierre Laffite, director of Je sais Tout, commissioned him a story for his newly founded magazine. Maurice accepted the commission and soon delivered an original titled "The Arrest of Arsène Lupin". According to the author's own words, this was the only Lupin story he had planned. However, Pierre Laffite was strongly impressed by the character and encouraged Leblanc to develop the character.

Thus, at forty years old and with a literary prestige earned by his previous works, Arsène Lupin was born from the hand of Leblanc, a gentleman thief, whose work consists of almost 20 books.
