Beskrivelse af The Key Of The Temple Of Heaven
The Key of the Temple of Heaven is a novel by Sax Rohmer, the creator of the famous fictional character Fu Manchu. The story follows the adventures of a British secret agent named Damar Greefe, who is tasked with investigating a mysterious cult that is said to possess a powerful artifact known as the Key of the Temple of Heaven. The cult is led by a charismatic woman named Madame Koluchy, who claims to have access to ancient knowledge and supernatural powers. As Greefe delves deeper into the cult's secrets, he discovers that they are planning to use the Key to unleash a devastating force that could bring about the end of the world.With the help of a beautiful Chinese spy named Kwei-Lin, Greefe races against time to stop the cult's sinister plans and recover the Key before it's too late. Along the way, they encounter a host of colorful characters, including a Russian prince, a Chinese warlord, and a mysterious master of disguise.The Key of the Temple of Heaven is a thrilling adventure story that combines elements of espionage, mysticism, and exotic locales. Rohmer's vivid descriptions of China and its culture add an extra layer of authenticity to the story, making it a must-read for fans of adventure and mystery.""The Temple of Heaven stands in the outer or Chinese City of Pekin, and is fabulously wealthy. No European, I can swear, had ever entered its secret chambers until last year. One of its most famous treasures was this Key. It was used only to open the special entrance reserved for the Emperor when he came to worship after his succession to the throne--that was, of course, before China became a Republic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
