Title: A Thousand and One Ways to Leave Moldova - Vladimir Lortchenkov - book
Summary :
Funny, grotesque, cruel. Meet the poorest people in Europe...
Moldova, you either love it or you leave it.
In Larga, a small, miserable village where little more than cabbage stalks grow, the inhabitants all entertain this wonderful idea: emigrate. Their earthly paradise? Italy, where prosperity and fiery brunettes await them. To do so, nothing is too expensive or too crazy: sell a kidney, convert a tractor into a submarine, organize a religious crusade, or learn to curl in order to secure a national team visa. Anything rather than give up.
What if luck favors the bold?
"This book closes with the joy of having discovered a gem and of having broken through the shores of contemporary literature. A hard-hitting, alert, excessively humorous, and scathing book." l'express.fr
