The Billions of Arsène Lupin

Sinopse

Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

The Billions of Arsène Lupin (French: Les Milliards d'Arsène Lupin) is a detective novel by Maurice Leblanc following gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. It was published in 29 daily instalments, illustrated by Jean Oberlé, in L'Auto from 10 January to 11 February 1939, then published in a 16mo volume by Hachette (coll. ‘The Enigma’ No. 13) in November 1941, with illustrations by André Pécoud. The 1941 Hachette edition of a story that was not actually written beyond 1939 is the only edition prior to the inclusion in 1987 of this final Arsène Lupin story in Francis Lacassin's collection (volume 4, published in 1987). These are therefore two posthumous editions. As illness and death had prevented the author from finalising this novel, the family refused to allow a second publication for 46 years, out of respect for the novelist's memory. The 1941 Hachette edition is incomplete: one of the 29 instalments in L'Auto, No. 23 dated 3 February 1939, was omitted by mistake. This error was repeated in the 1987 Robert Laffont reissue: volume 4 of the ‘Bouquins’ collection is similarly truncated.
