Dimitar Dimov Tobacco English — Translation

First published in 1951, Tobacco is a sweeping social and psychological epic set against the backdrop of Bulgaria’s tobacco industry from the 1920s through the end of World War II.

The story follows the meteoric rise and moral disintegration of Boris Morev , an ambitious young man who climbs from poverty to become the ruthless head of the "Nicotiana" tobacco concern.

Despite its status as a Bulgarian classic, a full, commercially available English translation of Tobacco has historically been elusive.
