The classic description of Fu Manchu in Danish:

"Forestil Dem en Mand, der er h�j, mager, kattesmidig, bredskuldret, har en Pande som Shakespeare og et Ansigt som den onde selv, med glatbarberet Isse og lange, smalle, magnetiske, gr�nne �jne. Ikl�d ham den orientalske Races hele Snedighed, giv ham al den Kundskab, som Fortidens og Nutidens Videnskab raader over, giv ham en rig Regerings Pengemidler -- -- og saa har De et Fantasibillede af Dr. Fu Manchu, den gule Fare i een Person!"
