Synopsis "The Golden Triangle"

The Golden Triangle: The Return of Arsène Lupin begins with the attempted kidnap of a lovely nurse known as Little Mother Coralie who is rescued by Captain Patrice Belval and his heroic Senegalese cohort Ya-Bon. As the labyrinthine plot unfolds and all hope of remedy seems lost, the ineffable, charming gentleman-burglar Arsène Lupin returns from the dead to solve an unsolved mystery from the past that bears upon a fated love, a treasure of gold, and the destinies of an extraordinary cast of characters. Lupin has been depicted in countless film and stage adaptions, most recently as the inspiration of the Netflix series, Lupin, starring Omar Sy. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed essay on Leblanc's life and work.

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.
