Introducing pulp fiction's first great femme fatale, the enduring creation of a master storyteller!Of his most alluring female character-whom he described as having Indian, Russian, and Scandinavian blood-Talbot Mundy wrote: "She is of the East and the West, very terribly endowed with all the charms of either and the brains of both." This book reprints the 1914 novelette "A Soldier and a Gentleman," which introduced Yasmini to readers, and the 1915 thriller "The Winds of the World," in which the secrets of India attract international schemers who plot with seeming impunity-while Yasmini uses her wits and her charms to secure power and influence. Mundy's first truly memorable novel teems with action, intrigue, and melodrama!TALBOT MUNDY (1879-1940) took up fiction writing after spending many restless years as a globe-trotting wanderer of dubious reputation. He sold exotic, imaginative stories to several rough-paper magazines but reserved his best work for Adventure, the "Dean of the Pulps." Mundy's most memorable protagonists included Jimgrim, Tros of Samothrace, and King of the Khyber Rifles. He died in 1940 after five years of scripting the Jack Armstrong radio show.This is the eighth book in the ten-volume "Forgotten Classics of Pulp Fiction" series.
