Avis sur le produitThe Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu by Sax Rohmer (1997, Trade Paperback)

The First Appearance of Fu Manchu

The Inidious Dr. Fu-Manchu is the first work on this famous oriental fiend by Sax Rohmer (a pseudonym for Arthur Sarsfield Ward, 1883-1959) first published in 1913. Fu-Manchu has had an illustrious career, in 13 novels, 3 short stories, and many, many films. Rohmer is a splendid storyteller and the world of Fu-Manchu is almost pure fantasy, having more in common with the Barsoom of Edgar Rice Burroughs than any actual history of Asian crime. Fu-Manchu is an engaging villain, with "a brow like Shakespeare ... a face like Satan."
