Not illustrated. 1917 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI That evening we sighted the low, green ridge of Macao, and beyond it the distant rocks of the mainland of China piled on top of each other like titanic walls. They gave me the impression of a huge ancient fortress, of lofty dungeons, tremendous, projectAnd somehow my prescient soul drew bitter auguries for the future. Our ship stopped within a few miles of the port, softly rolling to both sea-anchors, while the captain argued and whined once more. "Gentlemen, gentlemen," he pleaded, clutching his grease-stained dressing-gown with a gesture of despair, "I shall be fined, heavily fined." Mascasenhas cut him short. "Be quiet, ignoble son of a hog! What will not a goat eat or a fool say? For the love of the dear saints, if you're so afraid of your precious rupees, give us a lifeboat. We'll row her ashore ourselves, and you can tell the commandante of the port that the thing was washed overboard in a gale." So it was done. They put the boat over the side, and we pulled out toward shore through a glassy sea running amethyst and agate. We rowed steadily, taking turns. Late that night we landed on a little outlying promontory of limestone rock, which seemed perfectly familiar to the half-caste. There were coast-guards and sentinels of the Portuguese garrison about; for the coast is a favorite rendezvous for opium smugglers. But a thick, mother-of-pearl mist came rolling down from the mainland, cloking the hills and the shore, and blotting out the jasper tints of the sea. So we made our way across the promontory and down into the town of Macao without being challenged. Half an hour's steady walk, and we turned into the main street of the town. And a funny old street it was, crooked like the market Suks of Cairo, and framed on both...

Achmed Abdullah's name was once synonymous with adventure. He published dozens of novels and hundreds of short stories in the pulp magazines of the early 20th century, thrilling millions of readers throughout the world. He wrote with authority about exotic peoples and places because he had lived a life filled with adventure, serving in the British army and travelling extensively to exotic locales before settling down to a literary career. Here is the first new book of Adbullah's stories in almost seventy years, sampling a broad range of his work. "A Charmed Life" tells of one life-changing night in India, when a white man glimpses and beautiful woman in danger and acts to rescue her. "Framed at the Benefactor's Club" is a fascinating, intricately plotted mystery set in Manhattan. "The Yellow Wife" is a chilling look at Chinese life in Chinatown. "Bismallah!" is a light adventure in Africa, as crooked traders try to put a successful rival company out of business. "Light" is a surprisingly effective supernatural tale. "A Yarkand Survey" tells the story of a corrupt governor who is sent on a survey mission that might cost him his life -- if he isn't careful! And "Fear" is the tale of two thieving white men in Africa and the weird fates that awaited them. Ranging from mystery to adventure to outright horror, from the streets of New York to the rooftops of Calcutta, from London's Chinatown to the jungles of Africa, here are tales of men caught up by plots and mysteries beyond their wildest imaginings! Features a new introduction by pulp scholar Darrell Schweitzer.

This volume revisits the notions of Orientalism, Occidentalism and, to a certain extent, Reverse Orientalism/Occidentalism in the 21st century, adopting post-modern, constructionist and potentially non-essentialising approaches. The representations of the ‘cultural Other’ in education, literature and the arts are examined by scholars working in Australia, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and the USA. Vinyl compilations, TV series, novels, institutional discourses and surveys, amongst others, are examined so as to better understand how people construct their identity in relation to an imagined and idealised Other. This book will appeal to all researchers and students interested in cultural identity and stereotypes of the ‘East’ and the ‘West’, in particular in the fields of academic mobility, cultural studies, intercultural education, postcolonial literature and media studies.
