Memoirs of Arsène Lupin

Bag om Memoirs of Arsène Lupin

In the process of writing his memoirs, Arsène Lupin takes us back to his early twenties and his first love: Clarice d¿Etigues. Although forbidden by her father to meet, that doesn¿t stop Ralph d¿Andresy¿Lupin¿s nom du jour¿from wooing Clarice. But when he finds evidence on the d¿Etigues estate of a conspiracy to murder a woman, he cannot help but be drawn into the ensuing three-way race to a legendary treasure. Memoirs of Arsène Lupin was originally published in France in 1924 under the name La Comtesse de Cagliostro; this English translation was published the following year. Maurice Leblanc was not the only author to call on the myth of Cagliostro as a framing device: both Goethe and Dumas had written famous novels on the subject. This story showcases a Lupin who is growing into his abilities, and with the swings between outright confidence and self-doubt that would be expected of so comparatively young a protagonist.
