 | | Sax Rohmer's work received in the 1920s mixed reviews: Fu-Manchu, kauhujen mies (The Mystery of Dr. Fu-Manch u, 1923): "Horror story, written quite skilfully." Kuolleista noussut tri Fu-Mnchu (The Devil Doctor, 1925): "Adventure stories about the strange Dr. Fu-Manchu have been translated into Finnish before. |
 | | Fu Manchu had green eyes, "an emanation of Hell", as Rohmer wrote. |
 | | In THE ISLAND OF FU MANCHU (1941) Sir Lionel Barton, the greatest Orientalist in Europe, says that Fu Manchu is "an enemy whose insects, bacteria, stranglers, strange poisons, could do more harm in a week than Hitler's army could do in a year." After World War II the Rohmers moved to New York City. |
