Bernard Cornwell

Bernard Cornwell is an English writer who became famous for the cycle of novels, united by the name "The Adventures of Richard Sharpe". Behind the author's shoulders, not only are works telling about the adventures of a soldier of the Royal Troops, he has also released several historical literary series and stand-alone works. Several of Cornwell's books have been published under the pseudonym Suzanne Kells.

Bernard was born in London on February 23, 1944. The boy's father worked in the Canadian aviation, and his mother in the auxiliary units of the Air Force. Parents could not raise him on their own. The child was adopted by the Wiggins family, which already had four adopted children. Bernard's stepmother and stepfather were members of the Special People religious sect.

Cornwell attended prep school, then boarding school. Bernard did not plan to return home, where any pleasures were forbidden, so he entered the University of London at the Faculty of Theology.

The young man's first job was as a reporter for the BBC. He had an increased interest in cinema and television, since they were banned from the Wiggins. After the death of his stepfather, Bernard took the pseudonym Cornwell. For the reporter, the surname was significant, since it was borne by his own mother. Bernard ended his 10-year TV career as News Bureau Chief of the Northern Ireland Air Force.

Bernard Cornwell had a liking for the work of Cecil Scott Forester. In the novels, the author described the adventures of a captain of the Royal Navy. Bernard took this theme further with the land-based character Richard Sharpe. The cycle of books about him includes 24 works written in different years.

Chronologically, the hero's biography began at the end of the 18th century, when he, a commoner and former thief, was at the front. This period of Sharpe's life is described by 4 books that laid the foundation for Cornwell's bibliography.

The following 6 books tell about the secret missions of the hero in Spain, Denmark, on the Iberian Peninsula. Three of the novels are about adventures in France, and Sharpe's Ransom describes Christmas a soldier spent in Normandy. In 1993 the work "Sharpe's Devil" was published. In it, the main character had to go to Chile.

The historical chronicles of Cornwell tell about Nathaniel Starbuck, a hero who has seen the war between the North and the South of the United States. His life's vicissitudes are described in 5 compositions. The series "The Search for the Grail" about the adventures of the Danish Viking Utred is also interesting. They are described in the books "The Last Kingdom", "The Poor Horseman", "The Lord of the North" and the following 7 novels, which were published until 2016.

The public's interest in Bernard Cornwell's work is justified by the fact that the author is in awe of the genre of the historical novel, conducting research and carefully selecting the necessary material. The plausibility of events, the accuracy of the description of the characters and their individuality attract audiences of all ages, as well as the light language and dynamics of the action in the work.

At the age of 50, Bernard managed to meet his parents. It turned out that the father was alive and, like his mother, had a new family. In an interview, the prose writer told how he unexpectedly found six brothers and a sister.

In his youth, the writer was married, but divorced his wife in 1970, becoming a producer for the BBC. Eight years later, he met a travel agent, Judy, whom he later invited to marry. The couple's personal life was successful.

The writer has a Facebook profile, where he uploads videos, shares photos from promotions of new books. Now followers can receive news about his work directly.

The series "The Last Kingdom" and "Vikings" were filmed based on Cornwell's books. In 2019, aspiring fantasy writers look up to Bernard Cornwell's work.
