Autor Robert van Guliken Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2005
A pair of clever, cozy mysteries starring the beloved detective Judge Dee, whom the Los Angeles Times ranked with Sherlock Holmes
The Monkey and The Tiger includes two detective stories, "The Morning of the Monkey" and "The Night of the Tiger." In the first, a gibbon drops an emerald in the open gallery of Dee's official residence, leading the judge to discover a strangely mutilated body in the woods—and how it got there.

Marooned in a large country house surrounded by fierce bandits, Dee confronts an apparition that helps him solve a mystery.

Cuprins
The Morning of the Monkey
Judge Dee saw that the gibbon was watching him
'I am not yet through with you, Mr. Leng!'
'It's a very private matter,' Tao Gan said
'Well,' she said, 'I have done nothing wrong'
The Night of the Tiger
Judge Dee caught the spear on his sword
He pulled the silk strings in succession
Suddenly the judge had the feeling that he was not alone
'I grabbed her and shouted at her to stop...'

Recenzii
“The China of old, in Mr. van Gulik’s skilled hands, comes vividly alive again.”
“Entertaining, instructive and oddly impressive. Judge Dee, the officers of his tribunal and the people with whom he and they are concerned are interesting folk, and the world of crime, mystery, violence, lust, corruption and ceremony in which they move is formidably picturesque.”
