{"product_id":"french-tales-of-the-yellow-jules-lermina-9781649324399","title":"French Tales of the Yellow Peril","description":"The myth of the yellow peril is one of the most despicable follies of the imaginative fiction of the 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century. Despite this, the guilty realization that the global struggle between the European imperial powers, anxious to retain their monopoly on the rewards of colonization, and their once-Asian subjects, gave rise to a new subgenre, that of future world war stories.In this volume we present two such ground-breaking novels: Jules Lermina's \u003cem\u003eThe Battle of Strasbourg\u003c\/em\u003e (1892) and Camille Mauclair's \u003cem\u003eThe Virgin Orient\u003c\/em\u003e (1897), in which the authors\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003ehave enough conscience to point out that Asian resentment against Europeans is largely a reaction to blatant white xenophobia and imperialism, and foresee such global wars as the inevitable and natural repercussion of such evils.This \"yellow peril\", the threat of Asian plans for world domination, subsequently evolved in a series of more down-to-Earth thrillers such as the \u003cem\u003eFu Manchu\u003c\/em\u003e novels by Sax Rohmer, launched in 1912. Two somewhat similar yet different French exemplars are provided here, featuring the dastardly exploits of evil masterminds such as Fuh-Suh the Terrible (1934) and the Mysterious Fen-Chu. (1944). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jules Lermina,Camille Mauclair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1649324391\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781649324399\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollywood Comics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.91d","brand":"Jules Lermina","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48066751332607,"sku":"9781649324399","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c0629063-5b97-48a9-b422-62420fa83e92.jpg?v=1768680313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/french-tales-of-the-yellow-jules-lermina-9781649324399","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
