image of the foreigner

[John Langran]

My favourite is the initial meeting with the mag in Master i Margerita:
Правый глаз черный, левый почему-то зеленый. Брови черные, но одна выше 
другой. Словом - иностранец.
Pravy glas chyorny, levy pochemu-to zelyony. Brovi chyorniye, no odna vyshe 
drugoy. Slovom - inostranets.
and so on. See chapter 1, the first few pages.

I use this in defence of the "tipichny inostranets" in my Ruslan course, 
when people say that this is not a valid concept.
