About the book: 1991 / One of the most notorious series of pulp detective novels in the history of French literature. The main character Fantômas is a fictional character, a brilliant criminal who hides his face, one of the most famous negative characters in French literature and cinema, an elusive criminal who shackled Paris with fear a century ago. Between the two world wars, together with the surrealists, he made the line between fiction and reality indistinguishable.
