Not knowing what to do with this character, Leblanc began two stories with Wilson seriously injured, even if he played no role in the stories. However, and very clearly, we can blame Maurice Leblanc for his misunderstood of the Watson character (Wilson in the Lupin's stories), and having depicted him as a buffoon. At the end of his life, Leblanc reconciled with Lupin, as he renamed his Etretat's house as "Clos Lupin". There was some similarities between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Maurice Leblanc in their relationships with their respective heroes: both sorry about the phenomenal success of their creature, who turned them from more serious literature. And, upon my word, any one hearing of the adventures which have made the name of Herlock Sholmès famous all over the world must feel inclined to ask if he is not a legendary person, a hero who has stepped straight from the brain of some great novel-writer, of a Conan Doyle, for instance." About Leblanc's admiration for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, see his tribute to the British author after his death published in Les Annales politiques et littéraires (1 august 1930), and translated in The Baker Street Journal (BSJ, vol 21, No. It is as though nature had amused herself by taking the two most extraordinary types of detective that fiction had invented, Poe's Dupin and Gaboriau's Lecoq, in order to build up one in her own fashion, more extraordinary yet and more unreal. For example, in La Dame blonde, Arsène Lupin says: "He is Herlock Sholmès, that is to say, a sort of miracle of intuition, of insight, of perspicacity, of shrewdness. We can detect a real admiration by Maurice Leblanc for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the duel between Lupin and Holmes, the detective has all his intellectual skills, and he is elegantly respected by Lupin.
However, it seems that Maurice Leblanc has captured the true essence of the character of Sherlock Holmes, which is found perfectly in both stories. Lupinians think they are too light with an humorous tone, and sherlockians don't recognize the real Sherlock Holmes. These two stories are often criticized by both lupinians and sherlockians.
Arsène Lupin managed to steal the detective's watch, before giving it back to him with his business card, which did not amuse Sherlock Holmes. They both discovered a secret underpass in the castle of Thibermesnil owned by the banker Georges Devanne. In this short story, both heroes are proving to be equal intelligence. Short story published for the first time in the french magazine Je Sais Tout on 15 june 1906 (as La vie extraordinaire d'Arsène Lupin" : "Sherlock Holmes arrive trop tard") and collected on 10 june 1907 in Arsène Lupin gentleman cambrioleur (chapter IX) as Herlock Sholmès arrive trop tard, because Sir Arthur Conan Doyle protested against the use of the name of his detective without his consent. 17 (15 june 1906) Sherlock Holmes arrive trop tard With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Maurice Leblanc’s Arsène Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes is a classic of French literature reimagined for modern readers.Je Sais Tout No. Arsène Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes is a story of romance, mystery, and crime that continues to astound over a century after it was published. Although they are of a different breed than their adversary, who remains focused and stoic throughout, Sholmes and Wilson, despite their humorous outlook, prove more than capable of catching the gentleman thief. Across the English Channel comes Herlock Sholmes, the legendary British detective, and his trusted assistant Wilson. In this novel, Lupin forces French authorities to bring in an investigator capable of put a stop to his escapades. Despite his criminal nature, he operates under a strict moral code, only taking from those who have taken from the poor all their lives. In this installment of Leblanc’s beloved series, Lupin uses his remarkable wit and chameleon-like ability to move undetected through aristocratic society in order to steal, trick, and cheat his way through life. Arsène Lupin is the world’s greatest thief, an unmatched force for good whose exploits threaten the wealth and standing of France’s most wicked men. Blending crime fiction, fantasy, and mystery, Leblanc crafts original and entertaining tales of adventure starring one of the greatest literary characters of all time-Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Partly based on the life of French anarchist Marius Jacob, Arsène Lupin first appeared in print in 1905 as an answer to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. Forced to change the name of his antagonist following a legal challenge by Holmes’ creator, Leblanc still manages to pull off one of the greatest fictional mashups of all time. Arsène Lupin vs Herlock Sholmes (1910) is a novel by Maurice Leblanc.
