Jasoosi Duniya is Ibne Safi’s first best-selling Urdu spy novel
series. The first novel, Dilaer Mujrim (The Brave Criminal) was
published in March 1952. The central idea and theme of this novel was
taken from Victor Gunn’s novel Ironsides Lone Hands. However, the
main characters Inspector Faridi and Sergeant Hameed were Ibne Safi’s own
creation.
As
mentioned by the author in the introduction of Zameen Kay Baadal,
the plots of Purasrar Ajnabee, Raqqasaa Ka Qat'l, Heeray
Ki Kaan, and Khoonee Patthar were also adopted from various
English novels. The characters of Professor Durrani from Khaufnaak
Hangaama, and Chimpanzee and The White Queen from Pahaaroan Ki
Malikaa, were also borrowed from characters found in English
literature. The rest of Ibne Safi’s novels have original plots and
characters, conceived by the author himself.
