Download or read book The Desert Peach Collection Volume One written by Donna Barr and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-03 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Desert Peach is such an original work. Most of the stories take place during WWII, in North Africa, among German soldiers under the command of Colonel Pfirsich Rommel, the brother of Erwin Rommel, the famous 'Desert Fox.' Pfirsich is probably one of the most interesting characters in comics. If only all fiction tried to be as honest and open-minded as this, I'm naive enough to think, the world would be a better place. After all, fiction shapes our dreams and aspirations. And we could all do worse than let ourselves dream of having tea in the North African desert with a man as utterly charming as Pfirsich Rommel." -- Francois Peneaud: The Gay Comics List

Download or read book The Charlie Chan Collection Volume I The House Without a Key The Chinese Parrot Behind That Curtain written by Earl Derr Biggers and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of early work by Earl Derr Biggers was originally published between 1925 and 1928 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. "The Charlie Chan Collection - Volume I" contains the first three colourful tales of the original Charlie Chan. In "The House Without a Key" we are introduced to Chan, a corpulent father of nine, as he uses all his considerable faculties to solve the case of a murdered father and a missing jewel box. In "The Chinese Parrot," Chan dons a disguise and goes undercover to solve a complex case involving a fake identity, a kidnapping and a murder. The last story in this volume, "Behind That Curtain", tells the story of the former head of Scotland Yard, a detective who is pursuing the long-cold trail of a murderer. Earl Derr Biggers was born on 26th August 1884 in Warren, Ohio, USA. Biggers received his further education at Harvard University, where he developed a reputation as a literary rebel, preferring the popular modern authors, such as Rudyard Kipling and Richard Harding Davis to the established figures of classical literature. While on holiday in Hawaii, Biggers heard tales of a real-life Chinese detective operating in Honolulu, named Chang Apana. This inspired him to create his most enduring legacy in the character of super-sleuth Charlie Chan. Biggers wrote six Chan novels in total and all were licensed for movie adaptations by Fox Films. These films were hugely popular with several different actors taking the lead role of Chan. They were even a success in China where the appeal of a character from the country being the hero instead of the villain appealed to film-goers. Eventually; over 40 films were produced featuring the character. Biggers only saw the early on-screen successes of Charlie Chan due to his death at the age of only 48 from a heart attack in April 1933.
