Koelo handed over in luggage...
Oksana Kasatkin.
The well-known writer will leave Moscow with stones and ideas.
To Moscow there has arrived one of the most fashionable modern writers,
The author of novels "Alchemist", "Veronica decides to die" and
Other best sellers Paulo Koelo. Yesterday the Brazilian writer,
Working in an unusual genre - a genre of a philosophical parable,
Has acted at press conference specially for journalists and
Representatives of mass-media.
A first minute Paulo Koelo has dispelled hearings about ostensibly
Wasted by it during travel luggage also has explained
Impossibility of such incident by that else since young years, when
It was the participant hippovskogo movements, has got used
To move nalegke. And even now, flying through ocean, has grasped
With itself to Moscow only a small case with subjects
Personal hygiene which does not let go.
- I do not like heavy suitcases and sacs, - has explained
The writer. - probably, therefore in clothes I prefer black tone -
That not so the suit was strongly spoilt and to undergo the smaller
Losses from laundries in hotels, which with the improbable
Constancy spoil to me shirts.
Since 1988 of book Paulo Koelo enter into lists of best sellers
The USA, Latin America, the Western Europe and Near
The east. Now novels of the writer are translated on 56
Languages of the world also are published in 140 countries in the general circulation more than 37
Millions copies. In Russia its books rank
Popularity with such known best sellers, as "Harry
Potter "," Seagull Dzhonatan Livingstone ", Stephen's thrillers
King and Darya Dontsovoj's ironical detectives.
- Me that at all does not confuse my philosophical parables
Stand on one shelf with fairy tales and "horror films".
It is absolutely erroneous to consider, that if the book, so-called
"Best seller", it is accessible to the mass reader, means, it not
It is too clever, that its consumer possesses low, not
Exacting taste. If all to measure by similar estimations,
It is possible to agree and before, that Pushkin and Chekhov, which too
Read everything, too not too serious authors. To everyone
To genre the time. And I consider "Harry Potter"
High-quality novels of the genre and to reach their literary
Qualities it is given not to all. By the way, if the child today
Will read about Harry Potter tomorrow it will necessarily open
"Alchemist" because these novels, everyone in own way, learn
To good, vital wisdom and dialogue art between
People.
However, on a question, what else Russian writers, except
Classics, Koelo knows, the creative parent of "Alchemist" and
"The soldier of Light" to respond was at a loss:
- Unfortunately, I have not had time to familiarise with yours yet
Modern writers, but already I know, that at your writers stand
The same problems, as all over the world, - to publish the novel
Means to eat not one pood of salt.
On a question of journalists, whether the writer is going to
To picturize the novels, Koelo has responded:
- To me the offer from your Russian has already arrived
Jury Grymov's script writer to sell to it the right to a screen version of one of
Books. I still will think over this offer, and, probably, we
With it we will choose the novel on which we will shoot a film. But
There will be it not earlier, than I will resolve the conflict to the company
"Uorner Brazers" which has redeemed at me it is right on shootings
"Alchemist". Already after the transaction I have decided what to picturize it still
Early, hour of this film has not come yet. Today my agents
Offer Uorner Brazers five millions dollars for
The termination of shootings, but script writers on it do not go, - has complained
On Hollywood cinema-men Paulo Koelo greedy for glory.
By a recognition of the writer, it "the hot southern man", and
Therefore the first, that has rushed to it to eyes, is a beauty of Russian
Women.
And it is valid, even at press conference seigneur Koelo not
Ceased to strew compliments and to send to girls most
Radiant smiles.
First of all the known writer have taken away on the Red area.
The widely-read Brazilian once heard history of this place and
Took to itself therefrom for memory two stones. And still he has hinted
To journalists, that here, in Moscow, at it the idea has arisen
The new novel.
