![]() Places in Normandy that feature in the books ![]() Below we’ve put together a list of some of Leblanc’s most popular books that reference the region of his birth. ![]() Based on the parallels drawn between Leblanc’s first book The extraordinary adventures of Arsène Lupin and Lupin part 1, and the number of times Normandy featured in the books that followed, there’s every reason to hope the region will play a bigger role in part 2. Will we be seeing more of Normandy in part 2 of Lupin? Although part 1 was set mainly in Paris, we did see Etretat feature towards the end of episode 5. Yet superman Lupin, both in the books and on screen, always manages to triumph somehow over his enemies, even when all seems lost, through bending the rules, outsmarting the police and sheer self-belief. In the series, this is echoed by Assane’s alter-egos Paul Sernine, Luis Perenna and Salvatore813, as well as his choice of name for his son, Raoul. He takes on a multitude of personas in the books, constantly changing his looks and his name – examples include Prince Paul Sernine, Raoul d’Andrésy, Horace Velmont and Don Luis Perenna. ![]() ![]() Who was the original Lupin? Not unlike Lupin in the TV series, the Arsène Lupin of the books was a thief, a master of disguise, a rascal but never a killer, a hit with the ladies and a righter of wrongs who takes from the rich, a French Robin Hood if you like. ![]()
