Krátky popis
In this second of Boothby's Dr. Nikola novels, adventurer Wilfred
Bruce meets Dr. Nokola, who wants to hire Bruce to help him
penetrate a secluded Chinese monastic society to obtain the occult
secret for immortality. Dr. Nikola demonstrates to Bruce that he
and his black cat have magical powers. He learned of the Chinese
society from a disgraced Oxford don who spent many years in China
and from an old Buddhist priest. He tells Bruce:"I will confess
that the prospect of what I am about to attempt almost frightens
me. It is neither more nor less than to penetrate, with the help of
certain Chinese secret societies, into the most extraordinary seat
of learning that you or any other men ever heard of, and when there
to beg, borrow, or steal the marvelous secrets they possess. I
cannot go alone, for a hundred reasons, therefore I must find a man
to accompany me; that man must be one in a thousand, and he must
also necessarily be a consummate Chinese scholar. He must be plucky
beyond the average, he must be capable of disguising himself so
that his nationality shall never for a moment be suspected, and he
must go fully convinced in his own mind that he will never return.
If he is prepared to undertake so much I am prepared to be
generous."He is convinced that Bruce is the right man for the task.
After consideration of the risks and reward, Bruce joins Dr. Nicola
on his quest.
