driven by circumstances
Kako je ovo književni tekst, ovdje bih to radije prevela kao "driven by circumstances", a rečenicu možete prevesti na jedan od sljedećih načina:
"Driven by circumstances, he entered the world of literature ..."
ali možete isto tako preokrenuti rečenicu na sljedeći način, ovisno o daljnjem kontekstu:
"He was driven by circumstances into the world of literature..."
ili "He was driven by circumstances to enter the world of literature..."
Evo i nekoliko primjera:
"Each story is highly personal and particular. As a body, they document that women who find themselves in prison are often driven by circumstances into a situation where the emotional or material poverty of their lives makes breaking the law the only option."
http://msupress.msu.edu/bookTemplate.php?bookID=2284
"James Stewart is a small-town banker who is driven by circumstances one Christmas Eve to consider suicide..."
http://turnerclassic.moviesunlimited.com/results_actor.asp?s...
"Many of these victims are the poorest members of society, driven by circumstances to settle in flood plains or on other marginal land."

"Albert Neri, a man driven by circumstances into the world of crime"
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2V40KCA0SG1AM
"Finally driven by circumstances (the natural circumstances, the author suggests, of the American way of life) and his own sensitivity, he becomes a suspect in the murder..."
http://biography.jrank.org/pages/4369/Gover-John-Robert.html
"and that actual criminals are simply those normal individuals who were driven by circumstances to become criminals."

circumstantially; due to circumstance
"circumstance" = "okolnost"
Grub prevod u ovom slučaju bi bio: "Due to circumstances,... enters the world of literature."
Više je u duhu jezika reći: "Circumstantially entering the world of literature in 2008. (na pr.)"

Obzirom da tražite sličan termin a izbegavate "circumstance", navela bih još par predloga : "fortuitously" (zahvaljujući srećnim okolnostima), "entirely by chance" ili "coincidentally". Srećno!
