A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Sax Rohmer (1883-1959), aka Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, was born in Birmingham, England to Irish parents. He began his writing career at age 20 with the publication of The Mysterious Mummy?in Pearsons Magazine (1903). The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu, his first Fu Manchu book, was first published in England in 1912 as The Mystery of Dr. Fu Manchu. Dozens of sequels followed. Even after his death, a collection of his short stories was published (1976). He continues to be remembered in the pages of amateur journals and websites.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The terribly evil Dr. Fu-Manchu returns to London and completely baffles the entertainingly racist British detectives pursuing him. This is the second book in the series, and a lot of fun for two reasons. On one hand it is exciting and melodramatic, and on the other it is a glimpse into the mindset of the author, writing at a time when the "Yellow Peril" was seen as a scientifically proven reality. Reading this book is both an absorbing diversion and an interesting comparison to the hidden racism in our own time.
