Biography of Romain Gary

Quotes 4 About the author of a French writer of Jewish origin, film director, pilot, military, diplomat, two -time laureate of the Goncorov Prize. The biography of Romain Gary in itself is worthy of the novel and is quite fantastic. Literary mystifier Roman Katsev was born on May 21 in Vilna in a family of Russian Jews. In the year, the father of the future writer left the family.

The little Gary was raised by her mother, Mina Ovchinskaya, who was sure that her son was waiting for success. She tried to create all the conditions for the development of the boy. In the year, the family immigrated to France. Young Katsev went to the pilots and flew along with the royal air forces for free France, for which he was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor, and then the Order of Liberation.

After the war, Gary entered the diplomatic service. Unfortunately, the writer’s mother did not see what heights her son achieved, and Gary himself still had to become the most popular and prolific writer of France.

In the year, he published the first short story. The author printed the works under the pseudonyms of Fosko Sinibildi and Shatan is rich. And in the year, Gary created the most famous literary hoax - writer Emil Ajara. So the writer received the second Goncurov Prize for the book "The whole life is ahead." Romain Gary officially admitted in deception after some time. Critics of criticism note unusual, deep lyrical and philosophical thoughts, which are permeated by all the works of the writer.

Mature morality, a subtle understanding of tolerance and humanity make the works of the French novelist so relevant in our time. More about the formation of the worldview, Gari tells the autobiographical novel “The Promise at Dawn”. The ecological novel “The Roots of Heaven” also deserves special attention to readers: for the issues raised in the book, the writer received the first Goncurovsky Prize raised in the book.

In the center of the plot is the history of the protection of elephants, which at first will seem to readers of comedy and then tragic. Gary sought to show how different people interact: terrorists, prostitutes, journalists, photographers, monks, military - and why conflicts between indigenous African tribes are incurred. A large book about humanity in all its manifestations will make the reader think about the events taking place in the world.
