O knihe
Wang Foo, "Prince of Chinese Detectives," is an educated, well-traveled Confucian scholar who has dedicated himself to unraveling mysteries on behalf of the Chinese people and their Western allies for justice and peace. Particularly adept at ferreting out cultural misunderstandings, Wang Foo goes undercover in search of the truth and will use both Eastern and Western methods to capture the criminals, if crime there be. He is always willing to lend a hand to the police, diplomats, and government officials. Sidney C. Partridge, a former missionary to China and Japan, wrote five series of the Wang Foo stories for newspapers in the early 1900s. They were very popular for the appreciative insights they gave into Chinese culture (unlike the many "Yellow Peril" stories circulating at the time). This volume collects the first half of the Mysterious Ways of Wang Foo.
