The White Slave

by Arthur B. Reeve

Book Overview

The White Slave is a novel written by Arthur B. Reeve. It tells the story of a young American woman named Elaine Dodge who is kidnapped and sold into slavery in China. The novel chronicles her struggles as she tries to escape from her captors and return home to America. Along the way, she meets a young Chinese man named Li Chang who helps her in her quest for freedom. The novel is set against the backdrop of the opium trade and the political turmoil of early 20th century China. It explores themes of imperialism, racism, and the exploitation of women. The White Slave is a thrilling adventure story that also offers a nuanced portrayal of the complex cultural and political dynamics of the time.Leaving out of account the class of disappearances such as embezzlers, blackmailers, and other criminals, there is still a large number of recorded cases where the subjects have dropped out of sight without apparent cause or reason and have left behind them untarnished reputations. Of these a small percentage are found to have met with violence; others have been victims of a suicidal mania; and sooner or later a clue has come to light, for the dead are often easier to find than the living.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
