Maurice Leblanc si cimenta in un romanzo di fantascienza, con eccellenti risultati. Una misteriosa proiezione su un muro mostra eventi della storia passata riprodotti con precisione straordinaria.

Maurice Leblanc, creatore del fortunato personaggio di Arsenio Lupin, ha scritto nel 1916-17 questo romanzo a puntate, che fu pubblicato in Italia in due volumi: "Il cerchio rosso" e "Le avventure di Fiorenza". Il romanzo non vede la partecipazione di Lupin. Quello che non manca sono le avventure e la fantasia dello scrittore, che elegge come eroina una donna coraggiosa e generosa che assume il ruolo di "giustiziera" intervenendo, con mezzi non ortodossi, in situazioni in cui la legge ha le mani legate.

Nove episodi in cui Lupin racconta casi misteriosi da lui risolti, e regalati alla sua vecchia conoscenza Ganimard, e casi in cui si rivela ancora una volta il suo spirito di canaglia ribelle ma di cuore.

Der belgische Literatur-Nobelpreisträger reflektiert im vorliegenden Hörbuch das große Mysterium des Unerklärlichen und Unfassbaren im menschlichen Sein. Er wendet sich vordergründig an aufgeklärte Menschen - jedoch sind auch die Anhänger monotheistischer Wahrheitssysteme eingeladen, ihre angeblich ewigen Bedingungen auf den Prüfstand zu stellen. Die Antworten liegen laut Maeterlinck nicht in der Vergangenheit, sondern in der Zukunft, aber können Antworten, die noch nicht gegeben sind bereits feststehen ohne einen schicksalshaften radikalen Grundtenor mitklingen zu lassen?
