Synopsis "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)"

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes first appeared as a series of short stories in The Strand magazine from July 1891 to June 1892. The iconic, masterful, incandescent Sherlock Holmes and his loyal accomplice Dr. Watson gained instant popularity and their appeal has never ceased. Sherlock Holmes has been played by more than seventy actors in more than two hundred films, making this character one of the most portrayed creations in the history of literature. Along with twelve illustrations by Sidney Paget that first appeared in The Strand, this edition includes a newly translated version of the obituary Maurice Leblanc, the creator of Arsène Lupin, wrote for Doyle and a detailed biographical timeline.

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.
