Description
A new big bestseller from the author of the novel The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared
Sweden in 1852. Poor Smaland, hunger, poverty, revolutionary ideas - and also plenty of homemade spirits. Young farmer Algot, the son of a once-successful pig farmer, manages to shovel manure as confidently as he questions authority. When a forbidden distillation apparatus, noble thoroughbreds, a few spoiled conspirators, and one unexpected love come into play, chaos is guaranteed.
Jonas Jonasson presents another absurdly styled, fast-paced historical comedy full of crazy humor and satire - this time from the days when even a farmer could change the world. Or at least help chase away the blues.
