Soft cover. Condizione: Good. Van Gulik, Robert. The Chinese maze murders :a Judge Dee mystery. A Chinese detective story suggested by three original ancient Chinese plots. London: Panther Books Ltd., 1969 reprint. Panther Crime. Paperback, Good. Light shelfwear to cover edges, a few small marks/blemishes and some age-discolouration to the white background. Binding strong. Light foxing to prelims. 269pp., map, b/w illustrations + publisher advertisements. Pages lightly tanned, contents clean. Robert Hans van Gulik (9 August 1910 24 September 1967) was a Dutch orientalist, diplomat, musician (of the guqin), and writer, best known for the Judge Dee historical mysteries, the protagonist of which he borrowed from the 18th-century Chinese detective novel Dee Goong An. Van Gulik's intent in writing his first Judge Dee novel was, as he wrote in remarks on The Chinese Bell Murders, "to show modern Chinese and Japanese writers that their own ancient crime-literature has plenty of source material for detective and mystery-stories". Van Gulik's Judge Dee mysteries follow in the long tradition of Chinese detective fiction, intentionally preserving a number of key elements of that writing culture. Most notably, he had Judge Dee solve three different (and sometimes unrelated) cases in each book, a traditional device in Chinese mysteries.
