The suave adventures of a gentleman rogue - a French Thomas Crown Created by Maurice LeBlanc during the early twentieth century, Arsene Lupin is a witty confidence man and burglar, the Sherlock Holmes of crime.

There is an African proverb, “Se wo were fi na wosankofa a yenkyi,” which translates as “It is not wrong to go back for that which you have forgotten.” This is why we continue to remember the tales of struggle and tales of perseverance, even as we look to tales of hope. What a people choose to remember about their past, the stories they pass down, informs who they are and sets the boundaries of their identity. We remember the pain of our past to mourn, to heal, and to learn. Only in that way can we ensure the same mistakes are not repeated.

"Dans "La mort de près", l'écrivain convoque à sa table de travail le lieutenant de 14 tel qu'il était, dans sa vareuse tachée de sang et de boue, sentant le cadavre et la chimie. Le jeune officier n'a plus peur, il ne souffre plus, ses larmes sont taries. Il parle calmement, posément, libéré du feu des souvenirs qui brûlait les pages de Ceux de 14. Il raconte de nouveau quelques moments de sa guerre, comment il a rencontré la mort et ce qu'il en a vu. Tout est clair. On y comprend ainsi, mieux que dans le récit haletant d'autrefois, le déroulement d'un combat d'infanterie au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. [...]" Michel Bernard.
