New York, NY: McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie, 1923. Hardcover. Good. McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie. Uncommon in full 21 volume series published by McKinlay, Stone & Mackenzie. Good. Scattered foxing to boards and light dampstain to rear board of one volume. One title page may be missing, else a good set for cold nights. The series originally consisted of eleven matched volumes. They were reprinted as needed, and at least ten additional titles were added later. Contains some scarce titles. First Series (1923):The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu, The Return of Dr. Fu-Manchu, The Hand of Fu-Manchu, The Yellow Claw, The Golden Scorpion, Bat Wing, Fire-Tongue, DopeQuest of the Sacred Slipper, The Green Eyes of Bast, Tales of Secret Egypt. Titles added later: Grey Face, Daughter of Fu Manchu, The Dream Detective, Brood of the Witch Queen, Tales of Chinatown, Yellow Shadows, Moon of Madness, She Who Sleeps, The Emperor of America, The Day the World Ended. This is likely a later printing, including the 10 additional volumes. Blue cloth, matching bindings. The series was sold principally by mail order, through advertisements in pulp magazines and other popular magazines of the day. Like his contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, Rohmer claimed membership to one of the factions of the qabbalistic Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Rohmer's main literary influences seem to have been Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle and M. P. Shiel. He went on to influence and entertain generations of writers and readers. The Fu Manchu series drew much criticism from the Chinese government and Chinese communities in the U.S. for what was seen as negative ethnic stereotyping. The stories' implicit racism and intrigue was a sign of the times, worth exploring. Ships from Dinkytown in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Due to the size/weight of this book extra charges to apply for international shipping. Not available for priority/expedited shipping.
