The Adventures of Arséne Lupin: Old Man Yaoi Enthusiast ✨

[faith-gigliorosa]

"Excuse me, monsieur, is this the way to the castle?" "Yes, monsieur, straight ahead, and turn to the left when you come to the wall. They are expecting you." "Ah!" "Yes, my friend Devanne told us last night that you were coming, and I am delighted to be the first to welcome you. Herlock Sholmes has no more ardent admirer than... myself." [...] Then, for a moment, he [Herlock Sholmes] and Arsène Lupin gazed at each other; and, if a person could have seen them at that moment, it would have been an interesting sight, and memorable as the first meeting of two remarkable men, so strange, so powerfully equipped, both of superior quality, and destined by fate, through their peculiar attributes, to hurl themselves one at the other like two equal forces that nature opposes, one against the other, in the realms of space.

[...] At the railway station, he [Herlock Sholmes] spoke calmly, but in a voice that impressed one with the vast energy and will power of that famous man. He said: "Yes, he [Arsène Lupin] is a clever man, but some day I shall have the pleasure of placing on his shoulder the hand I now offer to you, Monsieur Devanne. And I believe that Arsène Lupin and Herlock Sholmes will meet again some day. Yes, the world is too small - we will meet - we must meet - and then—"

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro - (1979)

I'm still on something of a Lupin kick and somehow I had never seen Hayao Miyazaki's first film, The Castle of Cagliostro. What's incredible is that even though he's early in his career and working with a pre-existing franchise, the movie includes plenty of scenes and images that Miyazaki would play with for the rest of his career.

Attention Arsene Lupin fans!!

2023 Public Domain book found!

Published in 1927, this is literally the only copy I have found anywhere for this book in english that is in the public domain, or otherwise--

--Actually, on a quick check mid-sentence on Amazon , I have found 1 copy, newly translated into english and published June 2023................................ but the person used fucking ChatGPT to translate it . aka an AI Chatbot.

....Anyways. You can use the Archive.org link above to download the original 1927 english translation, which is in the public domain to read, just make sure you get the PDF version, not the epub or pdf text because it's pure, pure gibberish.

Once I'm done working on Le Docteur Omega I might take a crack at transcribing this book next so it can be properly posted to Project Gutenberg and other Public Domain sites.

Oh, and because someone asked, The Girl With The Green Eyes is book #15 according to the Wiki page

I hope this will reach any Leblanc Lupin fan here *ahem*

Readers: Didn't you die?! Arsène: That was weeks ago, dude. Things change.

It's crazy to me that the most popular fictional character of the turn of the century England was a rational to a fault detective. While at the same time, the most popular fictional character in France happened to be a gentlemen thief. That's just too on the nose. It's the kind of detail you would come up with to differentiate the culture of two fictional kingdoms in some fantasy novel, not an actual historical fact.

If there's any justice in the world, we'll someday see a full on adaptation of Arsene Lupin vs. Sherlock Holmes, er, I mean Herlock Sholmes.

Herlock Sholmes lives in Parker Street 219?!
