Conteur, collaborateur littéraire de journaux quotidiens, du Gil Blas puis du Journal avant d'être engagé en 1902 par L'Auto, Maurice Leblanc était un admirateur du naturalisme de Maupassant. Mais sa carrière prit un brusque tournant en 1905, lorsqu'il créa le personnage d'Arsène Lupin dans le magazine Je sais tout.Si la qualité d'un écrivain ne se mesurait qu'à l'aune de sa production, Maurice Leblanc serait sans doute considéré comme un des dix plus grands écrivains français. Aujourd'hui, c'est l'intégrale des contes de Maurice Leblanc parus dans ce journal qui est offerte aux lecteurs, soit 180 contes et une dizaine d'articles, avec de nombreuses illustrations de Gil Baer.Hervé Lechat, président de l'Association des Amis d'Arsène Lupin, aborde dans sa préface les grands thèmes et les idées fixes de l'auteur. Jean-Luc Buard, co-fondateur et rédacteur en chef du Rocambole, complète ce volume d'une bibliographie commentée des reproductions de ces contes, rééditions et traductions.

The Crystal Stopper is a mystery novel by Maurice Leblanc featuring the adventures of the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin. The novel appeared in serial form in the French newspaper Le Journal from September to November 1912 and was released as a novel subsequently. Maurice Leblanc was inspired by the infamous Panama scandals of 1892 and 1893. The novel borrows from Edgar Allan Poe's short story The Purloined Letter the idea of hiding an object in plain sight.Plot summary : During a burglary at the home of Deputy Daubrecq a crime is committed and two accomplices of Arsène Lupin are arrested by the police. One is guilty of the crime, the other innocent but both will be sentenced to death. Lupin seeks to deliver the victim of a miscarriage of justice, but struggles against Deputy Daubrecq's ruthless blackmailer, who has an incriminating document hidden in a crystal stopper.

Une frontière source de nombreux conflits....des tensions entre un père et son fils....et un évènement tragique qui survient sur la frontière... La frontière entre la France et l'Allemagne est ici le théâtre d'un roman historique chargé de suspens et de rebondissements, comme seul le créateur d'Arsène Lupin savait les écrire.Nous sommes en 1910. Quarante ans ont passé depuis la défaite de la France à Sedan et l'annexion de l'Alsace-Lorraine par l'Allemagne. Pourtant, Morestal, maire et conseiller de Saint-Elophe dans les Vosges, rêve toujours de revanche et examine chaque jour de chez lui la frontière avec l'Allemagne, prêt à en découdre. Lorsqu'une nuit le père Morestal disparaît en patrouillant à la frontière, l'incident prend rapidement un tour aussi dramatique qu'imprévu...La Frontière est un véritable roman prémonitoire car publié en 1911, il anticipe certains événements qui vont précipiter l'Europe dans la guerre de 1914/1918. Evidemment la déclaration de guerre n'est pas sujette à cet épisode, mais c'est la confrontation entre les esprits belliqueux et les pacifistes qui est ici analysée avec justesse par Maurice Leblanc.
