Sax Rohmer

The adventure-filled novels that introduced the world to the classic supervillain and his criminal organization.
 
 The most brilliant criminal the world has ever seen, Fu-Manchu is an expert polyglot and master chemist, adept in the manipulation of the rarest and deadliest poisons. An agent of a secret society bent on controlling the world, his mere gaze is enough to dull the sharpest minds of Great Britain. It is up to police commissioner Nayland Smith and his loyal friend Dr. Petrie to track the devil doctor from the opium dens of the East End to the deserts of Egypt and put an end to his fiendish plans . . .
 
 This series, originally written nearly a century ago, has become not only a pop-culture phenomenon—with the character Fu-Manchu appearing in films, on television, on the radio, and in comics—but also the subject of controversies and conversations about attitudes toward Asians at the time, as well as the historical relationship between East and West.
 
 This volume includes the first three novels in this wild adventure series: The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu, and The Hand of Fu-Manchu.

The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu: Fu Manchu, Book 1

Originally published as a series of short stories in Colliers Weekly, this action-packed sequel to The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu features a number of fiendish doings, including kidnappings, snake murders, albino peacocks, killer apes, quicksand, a haunted house, rat torture, and more. Fu-Manchu summons a poisonous cat, fiery hands of death, and a mummy to hunt down the Reverend Eltham and obtain the coveted name of a secret agent in China. Fu-Manchu's nemeses Neyland Smith and Dr. Petrie are witness to the tortures of the wire jacket and Six Gates of Joyful Wisdom and narrowly escape death on the moors of West England. And the return of the beautiful Karamaneh raises the question of whether her intent is to aid the nefarious doctor or Smith and Petrie. Can the relentless and cruel Fu-Manchu be stopped?

The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu

In "The Hand of Fu-Manchu," Sax Rohmer weaves a gripping tapestry of gothic horror and exoticism that combines adventure with elements of detective fiction. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Britain, the narrative follows the enigmatic and sinister figure of Dr. Fu-Manchu as he orchestrates a series of machinations to undermine the West through his diabolical intellect and mastery of ancient Eastern arts. Rohmer'Äôs prose is charged with atmospheric tension, utilizing vivid descriptions and sensationalism to immerse the reader in a world that straddles the line between myth and reality, reflecting contemporary fears of the foreign and the unknown in a colonial context. Sax Rohmer, born Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, found inspiration in the socio-political landscape of his time, particularly concerning Western perceptions of the East. His fascination with the occult, mixed with his experiences as a British traveler, led him to create the character of Fu-Manchu, blending Orientalist tropes with Western adventure narratives. This duality of fascination and fear gave rise to a complex antagonist who embodies the anxieties of an era gripped by imperialism and globalization. I highly recommend "The Hand of Fu-Manchu" to readers intrigued by early 20th-century literature, those who appreciate finely crafted suspense, and fans of detective fiction seeking a cultural exploration of villainy. Rohmer'Äôs work not only offers a thrilling narrative but also serves as a commentary on colonial attitudes, making it a rich text for both literary analysis and entertainment.
