I recently watched the film "Arsene Lupin," and I decided who liked the movie to play an adventure of Arsene Lupin Maurice Leblanc. I chose "The Countess of Cagliostro" since the film was also wearing this title. From the first pages, I was taken by this mixture between police intrigue, mystery, treasure search, historical mysteries and paranormal science. The written story is more interesting because it leaves the reader imagine a part of the plot and replace Lupin, readers are active unlike the viewer is passive, however the film he also conquered me. The novel has not aged and for lovers of the Belle Epoque, it plunges into the mores of this period if permissive or the World finally opened (airplane, automobile, medicine that improves, the first unions , etc.) and where everything seemed possible. Personal conclusion: do not spoil our fun reading and cinema with these two successful works.
