Judge Dee—Confucian Imperial magistrate, inquisitor, and public avenger, based on a famous statesman—was Dutch diplomat and Chinese cultural historian Robert van Gulik’s (1910-67) lasting invention. A welcome addition to the elite canon of fictional detectives, the Judge steps in to investigate homicide, theft, and treason and restores order to the golden age of the Tang Dynasty. In Murder in Ancient China’s first story, we watch as Judge Dee attempts to solve the mystery of an elderly poet murdered by moonlight in his garden pavilion; in the second, set on the eve of the Chinese New Year, the Judge makes two rare mistakes—will peril result?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Van Gulik

Robert Van Gulik nasceu na Holanda em 1910.
Depois de ter estudado direito e política em Leyden e Utreque, iniciou uma carreira diplomática que o faria permanecer no Oriente durante quase toda a vida.
Erudito e poliglota (falava holandês, inglês, japonês, malaio, javanês, latim e grego, mas também chinês e russo), o seu nome está associado a importantes estudos sobre a cultura chinesa. Foi em 1948, no Japão, que traduziu um romance policial chinês, o Dee Gong Na ou Casos Resolvidos pelo Juiz Dee. Inspirado nesta e noutras antigas narrativas chinesas, Van Gulik escreveu dezassete histórias policiais fictícias tendo como personagem principal o juiz Dee, que dão a conhecer ao leitor ocidental muitos aspectos da vida social da China antiga.
