A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mosques of Kalaun andE n-N asir, and I was idly noting the negligible effect of the adcm upon the occupants of the neighboring shops coppersmiths for the most part when suddenly my errant attention bejC ame arrested. A mendicant of miwholesome aspect crouched in the shadow of the narrow gateway at the entrance to theS flk es-S aigh, or gold and silver bazaar, having his one serviceable eye fixed in a malevolent stare upon something or someone immediately behind me. It is part and parcel of my difficult profession to subdue all impulses and to think before acting. I sipped my coffee and selected a fresh cigarette from the silver box upon the rug beside me.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward (1883 – 1959), better known as Sax Rohmer, was a prolific English novelist. He is best remembered for his series of novels featuring the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. He issued the first Fu Manchu novel, in 1913. It was an immediate success. The Fu Manchu stories, together with his more conventional detective series characters—Paul Harley, Gaston Max, Red Kerry, Morris Klaw (an occult detective), and The Crime Magnet— made Rohmer one of the most successful and well-paid authors of the 1920s and 1930s.
