Maurice Marie Émile Leblanc was a fictionist and short story writer, popular mostly as the originator of the make-believe nobleman burglar and gumshoe Arsène Lupin, frequently denoted as a French Doppelganger to Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. Maurice was born in Rouen, Normandy, where he was taught at the Lycée Pierre Corneille. After enrolling in education institutions in some parts of the world and gave up his law studies, he lived in Paris and started to make compositions, both concise detective fiction and lengthier narratives; his fictional books, strongly persuaded by novelists such as Gustave Flaubert and Guy de Maupassant, were desperately relished but gotten with fewer commissary attainment.

Maurice was widely regarded a bit also as a short prose writer for different French magazines when the first Arsène Lupin novel were published in a chain of short tales successively in the periodical Je Sais Tout. Evidently produced at editorial requisition under the encouragement of, and in response to, the uncontrollably notable Sherlock Holmes fiction, the puckish and dazzling Lupin was an astonishing gravy train and Maurice’s success and prosperity were drawn.
