This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
The spotted panther James Francis Dwyer Books
I read The Spotted Panther by James Francis Dwyer last year. I took notes. Originally published in The Cavalier magazine in 1913 The Spotted Panther is a masculine adventure about three men journeying into the heart of Borneo in search of the great parong of Buddha. It is anything but a traditional jungle adventure. The pacing is breathless, as one would expect, but what I found fascinating were the historical, geographical and mythical references scattered throughout the tale. These references are sprinkled into the dialogue and narrative alike. I was intrigued, and initially I thought Dwyer had an active imagination, but eventually it dawned on me that these allusions were factual. Consult a good encyclopedia and you'll discover that places like "The whirlpool of San Larn (p.34)," "The fruit groves along the Tagus (p.40)," and the "slopes of Hymettus (p.71)" are actual locations. Dywer knows both his geography and history, too. Ajax, Jason, the bones of Tamerlane, the robe of Siva, Methuselah, Hercules and even Stonewall Jackson are all mentioned. The story itself is a walloping good yarn, told in the first person, and heavy on action. The Spotted Panther is a superb entry in Black Dog Book's catalog and among my favorites from last year.Product details
