To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

''Nemili-nedragi'' [[note]]Original title: ''Немили-недраги'', "Outcast exiles", an idiom literally translating to "unloved, unwelcome"[[/note]] is a 1883 novelette by Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov, detailing the life of Bulgarian rebel emigrées (''"hăshove"'' [[note]]read like "hush"[[/note]]) in late 19th century Brăila in neighboring Romania as they await the onset of an armed struggle that would see their homeland liberated from the Ottoman Empire. The work has been adapted by Vazov himself a year later into a DarkerAndEdgier play under the title ''Hăshove''. Other adaptations include a 2009 TV mini-series, which borrowed elements from both the play and the book.

The work has been adapted by Vazov himself a year later into a DarkerAndEdgier play under the title ''Hăshove''. Other adaptations include a 2009 TV mini-series, which borrowed elements from both the play and the book.
The story opens with Vladimir Brăchkov, a young man on his way to the Odessa university (Russian empire, present-day Ukraine), sent there by his wealthy father to receive education. Instead of going, he chose to stay with the Bulgarian exiles centered around Nikola "Strandjata", an elderly rebel veteran, and others such as Spiro "Makedonski" who are still eager to form a new offensive against the Ottoman empire and shed their blood for Bulgaria.

!!Tropes:
* AdaptationExpansion: The play adds much more depth to the characters outside Brăchkov, Makedonski and Strandjata, giving them side plots and characters to interact with. It also gave them names, as almost everyone in the novel was referred to on a LastNameBasis or OnlyKnownByTheirNickname.
* AuthorAvatar: Brăchkov is based on Vazov's memories of his own stay among rebels in Brăila.
* ChargeIntoCombatCut: [[spoiler: How the play ends.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier:
** The book's tone is more of a dramedy, with plenty of comical and/or satiric moments. The play is more cynical, showing not only the rebels' misery, but the disdain Romanians and wealthy Bulgarians have for them.
** Inverted at the end when the play ends with a BolivianArmyEnding - the rebels reconciling with their loved ones and marching off to battle, whereas in the book [[spoiler:they all die in the battle or its aftermath, save for Makedonski who lives as a poor, crippled janitor in a freed Bulgaria]].
* FundraiserCarnival: The rebels stage a play to raise money for an assassination attempt of Sultan Abdul Aziz, so that they can spark a crisis in the Ottoman Empire and liberate Bulgaria.
