| Summary |
"Arsène Lupin taistelussa Sherlock Holmesta vastaan" by Maurice Leblanc is a novel written in the early 20th century. This engaging tale pits the cunning gentleman thief Arsène Lupin against the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, exploring themes of cleverness and rivalry through a series of thrilling escapades. Expect a blend of intrigue, wit, and adventure as both characters attempt to outsmart each other in a tense game of cat and mouse. The opening of the novel introduces us to Professor Gerbois, who unknowingly becomes involved in a criminal plot after purchasing a charming writing desk as a birthday gift for his daughter, Suzanne. Following the purchase, the desk mysteriously disappears from their home, leading the professor to suspect a vengeful young man who had previously expressed interest in buying it. As the narrative unfolds, a lottery ticket associated with the desk emerges as a focal point, indicating that Lupin is intricately linked to the unfolding drama. The tension escalates when Suzanne is kidnapped, setting the stage for the ensuing conflict between Arsène Lupin and Sherlock Holmes, showcasing the classic confrontation between intellects and the unfolding consequences of greed and ambition.
