Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE CONTEMPORARY BULGARIAN WRITERS CONTESTA humorous picaresque set in sixteenth-century Spain, Thrown into Nature tells the story of Dr. Nicolás Monardes, whose medical treatise 'Of the Tabaco and His Great Vertues' was partially responsible for introducing tobacco to Europe.

He even uses clouds of 'cigarella' smoke to chase a poltergeist from a church.A blackly hilarious novel that hides its pessimistic reflections on the power of money, the evils of charlatanism, and the gullibility of humanity behind the comic observations and adventures of the always striving and forever bumbling Da Silva, Milen Ruskov's Thrown into Nature is a comic tour de force.Milen Ruskov is a Bulgarian writer and translator. He has written two novels: Pocket Encyclopaedia of Mysteries (2004), which was awarded the Bulgarian Prize for Debut Fiction, and Thrown into Nature (2008), which was awarded the prize for VIK Novel of the Year.
