Books like Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee = Dee goong an by Robert van Gulik


Robert van Gulik presents three celebrated cases of the historical magistrate Judge Dee, known as Dee Goong An. The stories span a double murder of traveling merchants, the fatal poisoning of a bride on her wedding night, and an unsolved murder in a small town. Set along the great Silk Route, the cases illustrate Judge Dee’s role as both judge and detective, as he employs disguises, consults ancient burial sites, and uses deduction to uncover the truth. The translation includes a comprehensive introduction and appendix that outline the Chinese legal system, its investigative methods, and key aspects of law that shape the narratives.
