Sax Rohmer (February 5th 1883 with Birmingham - June 1st 1959 with London), of its true name Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward , was a British novelist . One owes him in particular a series of novels putting in scene the genius of the crime Fu Manchu.

It is in 1903 that Sax Rohmer published its first news in the magazine Pearson' S Weekly : The Mysterious Mummy . It earned then its living by writing sketches for actors and news and serials for the press magazine. In 1909, it married Pink Knox. It published its first novel, Pause! , in 1910 and the first history of Fu Manchu, Mysterious Doctor Fu Manchu , appeared in 1912 and 1913. The success of this account rate/rhythm and racist was immediate and of many another accounts prolonged thereafter the fight of Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie against the world consipration of the Yellow peril . Thanks to the success of Fu Manchu, and to a lesser extent of characters like Gaston max or Morris Klaw, Rohmer was one of the authors best paid years 1920 and 1930 but it could never manage its fortune correctly. After the Second world war, it moved in with New York.
