The frightening predictions that electronic "readers" in the near future will replace the usual books printed on paper are well founded. However, already today there are people tired of smartphones and the Internet. There are not many of them, but the trend has already formed. The young Frenchman Guillaume Musso was an avid reader from childhood. As he grew older, he developed a taste for writing and became a writer. His books are published in millions of copies. Amazing? Yes, there is something to brainwash.
The thrill of intent
The works of French writers have always been popular with Russian readers. Especially among young people. Famous novels about Musketeers and Guardsmen, about travels around the world and flights to the Moon were written in the 19th century, but the children do not lose interest in them. It is interesting to note that in "decaying" Europe, books are published, sold and read. For many people zapped at the modern pace, a book becomes a medicine, and reading a healing procedure. Among the authors in demand is Guillaume Musso, a young man born in 1974.
The biography of the writer is inexpressive and laconic. Guillaume was born in the town of Antibes in the south of France. Three years later, another child appeared in the family. The mother served in the library and, in order not to leave her eldest son unattended, took him to work with her. We can say with good reason that the childhood of the future writer passed between the bookcases. The interest in reading developed along an increasing trajectory. And from some point, the teenager began to have ideas about his own creativity. Over time, ideas took shape in a specific project.
After completing his school education, 19-year-old Guillaume Musso went overseas to New York. Many celebrities came to this city at the start of their careers. The young Frenchman attentively observes how the metropolis lives and absorbs its atmosphere with all the pores of his soul. He sells ice cream, does not shun other dirty work in order to have money for food. He meets a girl and imagines how a friend turns into a wife, and then becomes a widow.
On the path of success
Guillaume returns from America with a clear plan for the future work. Simultaneously with the work on the text, the young man receives an economic education and teaches the science of finance in college. In 2001, his first book, the novel "Skidamaring", was published. The plot of the work is deeply involved in the criminal texture. In the shortest possible time, the book was translated into many foreign languages. The author did not even expect such popularity. There is no better motivation for a writer. Guillaume Musso enthusiastically continues to work on the following texts.
The plot of the novel with an admixture of mysticism "After …" presented the writer with a harsh reality. Guillaume Musso was involved in a serious car accident. The vehicle is, as they say, in the trash, and it has only minor scratches. The book attracted the attention of not only readers and critics, but also film producers. A film entitled "Hostage of Death" was released in 2008, and the novel won the Italian prize "For the best work about love." The writer finally stops teaching and switches to literary creativity.
Almost every year, Guillaume Musso pleases his readers with a new book. From under his keyboard come the novels "Save me", "Because I love you", "I can not live without you", "The Girl from Brooklyn" and others. The author often uses "speaking" names. He writes a lot about love. However, practically nothing is known about the writer's personal life. Is he a jealous husband or a superstitious recluse? When meeting with readers, Musso delicately avoids such questions.
