First and foremost let me tell you something. I am and for some time have been an Arsene Lupin addict. Arsene Lupin is certainly in my top 5 favorite people of all time (yes I know he is a fictional character). He is number one when it comes to my favorite fictive fellows.
With that said this post will be biased (sorry objectivity) somewhat.
Featured Book: "The Many Faces Of Arsene Lupin" by Maurice Leblanc & others, edited by J-M. & R. Lofficier
Format- Trade Paperback, 308 pages. Black Coat Press. ISBN-13: 978-1-61227-049-4
Content- Short stories and plays featuring the French favorite Arsene Lupin, gentleman cambrioleur. A great literary resource all within one trade paperback book. The book contains Lupin stories that have appeared in other Black Coat Press books, five new stories making their first appearance in this book, and two Lupin tales by Maurice Leblanc in English for the first time. Twenty-one stories total!
Themes- Christmas, The Prisoner, Holmes, Love, Respect, and more. Something for everyone!
Thoughts- An Arsene Lupin-centric collection is always a good thing. The quality of the tales within this book make it great! I love Black Coat Press for publishing high quality books featuring French fiction in English!
Next Featured Book: "Planet of the Apes" (kindle edition) by Pierre Boulle
La Planète des singes? Yes it does seem that I am on French fiction kick.
Blog News: Future Features will follow the above subjective tone with some basic details about a book. Perhaps in the future my posts will be in a more proper review (read: over analyzed) format (probably not). Then again the future lasts forever so we will see.
