À propos de l'auteur
Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, better known by his pen name Sax Rohmer, was born on February 15, 1883, in Birmingham, England. Rohmer's literary career is most famously marked by the creation of the iconic villain Dr. Fu Manchu, a character that would become a cultural phenomenon in the early 20th century. His works, often steeped in exoticism and the supernatural, captivated readers with their thrilling plots and mysterious atmospheres.Rohmer's portrayal of Dr. Fu Manchu has been both influential and controversial. While the character became a staple of early 20th-century pulp fiction and inspired numerous adaptations in film, radio, and television, it also perpetuated harmful racial stereotypes, reflecting the era's anxieties and prejudices. Modern readers may find these depictions problematic, yet they offer a window into the cultural and social dynamics of Rohmer's time.Beyond his infamous villain, Rohmer's contributions to the genre of mystery and adventure fiction were significant. His ability to weave intricate plots with a sense of the uncanny influenced contemporary writers and helped shape the genre's evolution. Rohmer's fascination with the occult and secret societies also mirrored the broader public's interest in mysticism during the early 1900s.Despite the controversies surrounding his work, Rohmer's legacy endures in the annals of popular fiction. His stories continue to be studied for their impact on genre writing and their reflection of early 20th-century cultural tensions. Sax Rohmer remains a figure of intrigue, embodying both the allure and the pitfalls of the literary imagination in his era.
