Mr. Tot aĉetas mil okulojn (Mr. Tot buys a thousand eyes) is the third novel originally written in Esperanto by Jean Forge. It appeared in 1931. It is a fantasy adventure novel. However the absolute artistry of the characterizations, the pure literary language, and the well-structuredness of the novel raise it high above the mass of novels of its type. In this novel the erstwhile excessive use of suffixes, most noticeable in his previous work Saltego trans Jarmiloj, disappears.
The novel is included in William Auld's Basic Esperanto Reading List.[2]
In 1960, Fritz Lang used the novel as a basis for his last film The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse.
The first version of this page is translated from the Esperanto Vikipedio.
