Il secondo volume delle avventure del ladro gentiluomo (1908) coglie l'opportunità di una benevola satira del grande Sherlock Holmes (il cui nome viene cambiato per ovvi motivi legali) per tratteggiare meglio il carattere di Arsenio Lupin: un ribelle della società di cui apprezza i lussi senza essere schiavo delle sue convenzioni, ma, si direbbe oggi, schiavo a sua volta dell'adrenalina.

Arsenio Lupin, il famoso ladro gentiluomo, personaggio uscito dalla penna di Maurice Leblanc nel 1905, è protagonista di numerosi romanzi, da cui sono stati tratti film e serie televisiva. Sembra che Leblanc si sia ispirato a una figura vera, Marius Jacob, anarchico francese e ladro geniale. Le sue avventure, con intrecci inverosimili, assurdi, se sempre condite da senso dell'umorismo, hanno anche ispirato un manga giapponese, e sono pertanto note anche alle generazioni più giovani.
