Summary "Mémoires d'un cambrioleur retiré des affaires" by Arnould Galopin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around George-Edgar Pipe, a professional burglar who has retired from his trade but claims to reveal the secrets behind his infamous escapades. The narrative captures his escapades, motivations, and philosophical musings about his life as a thief, setting the stage for intrigue and adventure. At the start of the narrative, the protagonist finds himself hiding in a sarcophagus within the Louvre during a Christmas Eve vigil. This unusual setting provides a backdrop for a blend of mystery and supernatural elements as the museum guards, Bartissol and Logarec, experience eerie occurrences, including the unsettling opening of a sarcophagus. Amidst this chaos, Pipe takes advantage of the guards' fear to make his move and executes a heist on the famous diamond, the Régent. The opening establishes a compelling blend of suspense, character exploration, and the intricacies of thievery, promising readers both thrills and insights into the mind of a seasoned burglar.
