Arsène Lupin, fictional character in stories and novels by Maurice Leblanc. The debonair Lupin is a reformed thief, a criminal genius who has turned detective. The police are not convinced of his change of heart and often suspect him when a daring robbery occurs.
Maurice Leblanc, in full Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc, (born Dec. 11, 1864, Rouen, France -- died Nov. 6, 1941, Paris), French author and journalist, known as the creator of Arsène Lupin, French gentleman-thief turned detective, who is featured in more than 60 of Leblanc's crime novels and short stories.
Leblanc abandoned his law studies to become a pulp crime writer. Commissioned in 1905 to write a crime story for the French periodical Je sais tout, he created "L'Arrestation d'Arsène Lupin" ("The Arrest of Arsène Lupin") and achieved immediate and long-lasting popular success. His first collection of short stories appeared in 1907. Leblanc used as a recurrent element the suspicion that Lupin may not have reformed completely. Many of Leblanc's stories were adapted into successful films in the 1930s.
