The Yellow Claw This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

Notă biografică

English author Arthur Henry ""Sarsfield"" Ward, well known as Sax Rohmer, lived from 15 February 1883 to 1 June 1959. He is most known for the Dr. Fu Manchu book series, which stars the notorious master criminal. Rohmer, like his contemporaries Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, claimed affiliation with a Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn group. Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, and M. P. Shiel appear to have been Rohmer's principal authors of literary inspiration. After penning Little Tich in 1911, Richard Rohmer wrote the first Fu Manchu novel, The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manchu, first published in a serialization from October 1912 to June 1913. Rohmer didn't return to the saga with Daughter of Fu Mancha until 1931. Stoll had successfully adapted the first three works into a pair of serials in the 1920s. He started the series for Collier's in 1930 but was unhappy with the female supervillain Head Centre at the start. Later, for the Sumuru series, he would go back to Drake Roscoe and his female supervillain. The series was criticized for creating a false image of London's Chinese community as crime-ridden.
