The Last of the Vostyachs won two literary prizes in Italy: The
Premio Campiello and The Premio Stresa. As a child, Ivan and his
father work as forced labourers in a mine in Siberia, the father

Twelve years ago after its first publication Las adventures des
Inspector Cabillot arrives in the US by popular demand.Inspector
Cabillot, the first Europanto detective tackles varied European
concerns such as a mad cow disease terrorist cell that takes over
London and the kidnapping of a major European Union leader by
Finnish nationalists who want to replace Europanto with Finnish as
the only language of the European Union.These stories take a
light-hearted look at the European Union and its problems in a
language created to give Europeans a common tongue. " The
linguistic recipe used by Diego Marani is broadly the following;
take a firm grounding of English and French, toss in chunks of
German, Spanish and Italian; garnish with a dash of Flemish and
Euroslang; pour the contents into a language liquidiser and serve
when thoroughly pureed." Ben MacIntyre in The Times
