Synopsis "El tapón de cristal (in Spanish)"

La residencia del diputado Daubrecq fue el escenario de un robo, las autoridades atrapan a dos de los tres implicados, el tercero, con gran audacia, logra escapar. Solo una persona pudo evitar esta pesquisa: el astuto caballero ladrón, Arsène Lupin. Ahora, él debe descifrar todo este enredo para salvar de la guillotina a uno de sus mejores amigos, y la única pista que tiene para hacerlo es un tapón de cristal que contiene la lista de veintisiete nombres, entre políticos y jefes parlamentarios, implicados en un delicado caso de corrupción. Experto en artes marciales, derecho y medicina, además de prestidigitador, sus armas más mortíferas, sin embargo, son su ingenio y audacia. Como un Robin Hood de la Belle Époque, es el paladín de los pobres e indefensos, y un constante agobio para los ricos y burgueses. El tapón de cristal es una de las aventuras más desafiantes que ha vivido Arsène Lupin. Con el tiempo en su contra y el tapón de cristal desaparecido, deberá emprender un viaje donde su vida peligrará a cada instante para recuperar esta única pista.

Maurice-Marie-Émile Leblanc (Rouen, December 11, 1864-Perpignan, November 6, 1941), better known as Maurice Leblanc, was a French novelist and short story writer

Born into a wealthy family, his father was a rich shipowner based in Rouen. After finishing his law studies, he dedicated himself to working in various industries in the region. After a while not applying himself much to industrial work, he moved to Paris, where he began his literary career, from around 1892 until 1904. He published about ten books, the first of which was titled: Des Couples (Couples).

In 1904, Pierre Laffite, director of Je sais Tout, commissioned him a story for his newly founded magazine. Maurice accepted the commission and soon delivered an original titled "The Arrest of Arsène Lupin". According to the author's own words, this was the only Lupin story he had planned. However, Pierre Laffite was strongly impressed by the character and encouraged Leblanc to develop the character.

Thus, at forty years old and with a literary prestige earned by his previous works, Arsène Lupin was born from the hand of Leblanc, a gentleman thief, whose work consists of almost 20 books.
