The novel is published in Russian for the first time. Jorge Amado is called the Brazilian Balzac and the Brazilian Gogol. He is among the top hundred authors of the 20th century. Worldwide fame was brought to him by the novel "Gabriela, Clove and Cinnamon," and "The Discovery of America by the Turks" became one of the striking works of the author's late period. After his mother's death, Adma decides to start a "holy war" against the vices of his father and sisters. The despotism of the eldest daughter and the decline of their family shop finally break Ibrahim. There is only one way out of this sad situation: to marry off the unattractive and scandalous Adma. Who will be the lucky one? The young waiter Adib and the calculating Jamil will compete for the rich bride. At the most appropriate moment, love will intervene. Amado ironically called the novel "The Discovery of America by the Turks." Instead of famous navigators making Great Geographical Discoveries, the heroes are ordinary merchants who "conquer" Brazil with labor and cunning. This novel will appeal to you if you were greatly impressed by Gabriel García Márquez's book "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and the film "Amélie." The book is published in a soft cover with flaps that can be used as bookmarks. You will never lose your place. To enhance tactile sensations, some elements of the cover design are highlighted with embossed varnish.
