This short story, part of a larger series, is delightful. The author and his gentleman thief, Arsene Lupin, were wildly popular in the Golden Age of detective fiction and became a success from the very first story written in 1905. Several early films were made of this character and other roguish thieves, such as the Falcon and the Saint piggy-backed on that theme.

The main character is charming and only steals from those that he feels deserve it In this tale, it is a nasty miser who collects painting masterpieces and art objects of great value and locks them in an old castle which appears to be impervious to a thief. But he doesn't count on Lupin. This plot is clever and believable with a bit of a twist.

This is a gem and has aged quite well.

এই গল্পের প্লটটা দূর্বল লাগলো৷ বিখ্যাত এক গোয়েন্দার নাম ভাঙিয়ে চুরি করল, এরপর সবকিছু মিডিয়ায় গেল কিন্তু সেই গোয়েন্দা আর্সেন এর সাথে দেখা করার আগে কিছু জানতে পারলনা.....

Questo secondo racconto è più in linea con quello che mi aspettavo di un colpo di Lupin.
Un furto apparentemente impossibile che grazie all'astuzia del ladro gentiluomo fila liscio come l'olio.
I dettagli erano abbastanza intuibili ed è stato solo il capitolo finale ad aver dato quel toco in più ad un racconto che altrimenti sarebbe stato abbastanza banale.
E' il racconto ideale da leggere in una mezz'oretta, ma abbastanza dimenticabile.

Penso di ascoltarli tutti. Mi sembrava assurdo non aver mai letto niente su Lupin. Sono tutti molto molto brevi e davvero carini.

One of the most famous Arsene Lupin books. The book contains several brilliant stories, and all of them are really interesting. However, I personally thought the story called "The prisonbreak of Arsene Lupin" was most exciting story. The story was struggle of Arsene Lupin to escape from the prison, and the way he had finally achieved this was so exciting. Therefore I would like to recommend this book even you are Arsene Lupin fan or not.
