In 1898 an Englishman walked into a homosexual brothel in Peking and began a journey that he claims took him all the way to the bedchamber of imperial Chinas last great ruler, the Empress Dowager Tzu Hsi. The man was Edmund Backhouse, and his controversial memoirs, Dcadence Mandchoue, were published for the first time by Earnshaw Books in 2011. This edition, renamed Manchu Decadence, is abridged and unexpurgated, meaning that it focuses on the most extraordinary and valuable elements of Backhouses narrative.
