Arsène Lupin

Maurice Leblanc

Summary

"He is the man of a thousand faces, the thief who steals hearts and diamonds with equal ease."

Step into the glamorous world of the Belle Époque, where Arsène Lupin reigns supreme as the most elusive criminal in France. Unlike the dark detectives of his time, Lupin is a hero of wit and elegance. Whether he is stealing a priceless coronet from a locked vault or solving a mystery that has baffled the authorities for years, he does so with a flair for the dramatic. From his debut in Arsène Lupin, Gentleman Burglar to his legendary rivalry with "Herlock Sholmes," Lupin's adventures are a whirlwind of secret passages, clever ruses, and high-stakes games of cat-and-mouse.

The Master of the Impossible: Lupin doesn't just steal; he orchestrates. His heists are elaborate puzzles where he often announces his arrival in advance, daring his victims to stop him. He is a master of the "locked-room" mystery, turning every crime scene into a stage for his genius.

A Rogue with a Heart of Gold: While he lives outside the law, Lupin is a champion of the underdog. He often uses his stolen wealth to help the vulnerable or to expose the corruption of the elite. This duality—part criminal, part knight-errant—is what has made him an enduring icon for over a century.

The Inspiration for a Global Phenomenon: From the classic novels to the hit Netflix series, the spirit of Arsène Lupin continues to captivate. These stories are the blueprint for the modern "heist" genre, blending suspense, humor, and a touch of French sophistication.

Death in Old Mexico - The 1789...

Nicole von Germeten

In a Mexico City mansion on October 23, 1789, Don Joaquín Dongo and ten of his employees were brutally murdered by three killers armed with machetes. Investigators worked tirelessly to find the perpetrators, who were publicly executed two weeks later. Labelled the "crime of the century," these events and their aftermath have intrigued writers of fiction and nonfiction for over two centuries. Using a vast range of sources, Nicole von Germeten recreates a paper trail of Enlightenment-era greed and savagery, and highlights how the violence of the Mexican judiciary echoed the acts of the murderers. The Spanish government conducted dozens of executions in Mexico City's central square in this era, revealing how European imperialism in the Americas influenced perceptions of violence and how it was tolerated, encouraged, or suppressed. An evocative history, Death in Old Mexico provides a compelling new perspective on late colonial Mexico City.
