As the classic once said, our planet is not well suited for happiness. And you need to be a great optimist so as not to lose your presence of mind. Ekaterina Nikolaevna Vilmont is a modern writer. She writes detective stories for children and positive prose for women.
Childhood
The first thing to say is that Katya was the only child in the house. In the information environment, at all times, there have been debates about who has the greatest influence on the development of children, the family or the social environment. An unambiguous answer has not yet been formulated. If you wish, you can always find facts confirming any of the opinions expressed. The future writer was born on April 24, 1946 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. Both father and mother were engaged in translating texts from foreign languages into Russian. More precisely, the head of the family was engaged in the research of German literature, and the mother translated works from many European languages into Russian.
The girl grew up and developed in a creative environment. Not only did the parents, due to professional necessity, communicate in foreign languages, well-known writers and poets often came to the house. It is not surprising that a girl from an early age learned the subtleties of French or German without the slightest effort. In addition, she attended the discussion of the manuscripts that the guests brought with them. Boris Pasternak loved to hold Katenka in his arms and go out onto the balcony with her.
Professional activity
Katya studied well at school. I didn’t really like math, but that didn’t stop her from getting good grades in this subject. When the time came to choose a future profession, the girl had no doubts. She has long decided to follow in the footsteps of her parents. It is interesting to note that the mother gave her daughter small texts for translation when the work needed to be completed by the appointed date. In fact, by the time she graduated from school, Ekaterina was already a fully trained translator. She was fluent in German, French and English.
At first, Wilmont worked as a secretary for a famous writer. A few years later she was invited to the position of proofreader at the publishing house "Khudozhestvennaya literatura". For a long period of time, Ekaterina Nikolaevna enthusiastically engaged in her favorite work, not thinking about writing herself. But at one fine moment she had a desire to "pick up a pen" and she sat down at a typewriter. As a result of this impromptu novel, The Journey of the Optimist, or All the Women are Fools, appeared.
Recognition and privacy
According to the writer, literary work gives her true pleasure. She "spies" the plots for her works from the surrounding reality. The characters of the heroes are "copied" from their relatives and friends. Some discerning readers notice in the books plots from the writer's personal life.
Catherine Vilmont is not married. She has no children. She is calm about the situation. At one time, the relationship with her beloved man did not work out, and she did not want to share the marriage bed with anyone.
