Dmitriy Glukhovskiy

The author of the international bestseller Metro 2033, Dmitry Glukhovsky, is called a writer of a new type and one of the founders of online literature. His biography includes work in the "Kremlin pool", trips to the North Pole, Baikonur and Chernobyl. Dmitry helps young colleagues and claims that his task as a writer is only to pose questions that the reader will want to ponder and find the answer on his own.

The future bestselling author was born in Moscow on June 12, 1979. His parents were journalists: his father was an editor at Gosteleradio, and his mother was a photo editor at TASS. Since childhood, Dmitry wanted to follow in the footsteps of his parents.

The boy learned to read at the age of 2.5, and to count at the age of 5, and by school he knew how to add and subtract three-digit numbers in his mind. Loving relatives were convinced that a brilliant scientist would grow out of Dima. In a "regular" school, he quickly began to get bored, so he was transferred to a French special school, then considered elite.

Earlier, Dmitry's father and grandmother studied at this institution. But even there, the load in the primary school was insufficient for the boy. Accustomed to the fact that it is easy to study, Glukhovsky, in his words, “finally got loose” and slipped into Cs in exact sciences. Russian language and literature were still brilliant for him.

Dmitry began to write at school: it was both fantastic stories for peers, and journalistic essays about the homeland for school wall newspapers. After school, the future science fiction writer went to study abroad. In 1996, he entered the University of Jerusalem to study social studies (for this the young man had to first learn Hebrew). After completing his studies, he worked as an editor on the EuroNews channel for 3 years.

In 2005, Dmitry returned to his homeland and got a job at Russia Today. Glukhovsky worked as a reporter in "hot spots", covered the President's activities as part of a special "Kremlin pool", visited Chernobyl, Baikonur and in many countries on business trips, and even reported from the North Pole.

Metro 2033, a novel about Muscovites fleeing the aftermath of a nuclear disaster in the subway, Dmitry finished at the age of 22. Subsequently, the work was recognized as the best debut of 2007 according to the results of the competition of the European Society of Science Fiction. According to the author, the idea was born at the age of 14, and the subsequent years were spent on implementing the idea and finalizing its implementation. An interesting fact - the publishing houses did not accept the young author's work, and Glukhovsky immediately posted the entire text on the Internet, without wasting his energy trying to get it published on paper.

The book's success became unexpectedly loud. The author immediately became interested in "Eksmo", "Popular Literature" and "AST". Metro 2033 was included in the list of not only Russian, but also world bestsellers, quotes from the book were circulated on the Web, and the novel's plot became the basis of three video games. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer conceived a film adaptation, but could not write a good script, and after the expiration of the contract, the rights had to be returned to Dmitry.

Later, Glukhovsky wrote two sequels - "Metro-2034" and "Metro-2035" - and announced in an interview that he personally considered the cycle closed for himself, but did not mind if someone else took up the continuation.

By that time, the number of Dmitry's imitators and followers had become so large that the author decided to lead the process himself within the framework of the special project "Universe Metro 2033". Those who wish to develop the post-apocalyptic theme of the novel post their works on a special site, where readers can vote for them. The winners are published by the publisher.

Subsequent works by Glukhovsky - stories and 5 novels - were also highly appreciated by fans. In 2007, his bibliography was replenished with the book "Twilight". The novel, which tells about the end of the world in accordance with the predictions of the Maya Indians, received the prestigious French Prize for Fantastic Literature, Utopiales.

Three years later, Tales of the Motherland came out, in 2009 - The End of the Road, and in 2013 - another dystopia, The Future, where people received immortality according to the plot, but lost their moral guidelines. This novel was posted on VKontakte free of charge, accompanied by specially prepared music tracks and illustrations.

In 2017, Dmitry released a new novel "Text", which was an attempt to move from entertainment authors to the ranks of "big" psychological writers. Critics assessed him ambiguously: someone liked the unconventional plot twists, someone criticized the weak and unpredictable hero, but everyone agreed that no one expected this from Glukhovsky. Now, according to the writer, he has not yet decided on a further direction of work:

Dmitry Glukhovsky is married. His wife's name is Elena, she was his producer on Russia Today. The couple have two children: daughter Emilia was born in 2011, and son Theodore in 2014. According to the writer, his personal life serves as an irreplaceable source of inspiration for him: for example, he could feel and describe some scenes in The Future only when he became a father.

Thanks to the writer's income, the family can live comfortably: according to rumors, he received $ 1.5 million for Metro-2033 alone. In addition, the development of games, scenarios and performances based on the plots of his works also brings income. Glukhovsky maintains a page on Instagram, which now has thousands of subscribers. There he uploads photos from his travels and announces new publications.

Today the writer is actively continuing his work. Several new works are being prepared for release at once: one book will be sustained in the spirit of "magical realism on Russian soil and polar horror", and the other two - in the genre of a graphic novel. They are almost ready, but the release is still postponed due to failures in the work of illustrators - Diana Stepanova, Ilya Yatskevich and Artem Chebokhi.

Also in 2018, the Moscow Drama Theater named after M. I. Ermolova staged a play based on the novel by Glukhovsky "Text". The director was Maxim Didenko.

Dmitry Glukhovsky speaks five foreign languages ​​- Spanish, English, French, Hebrew and German. The novel "Metro 2033" has been translated into 37 languages.

The writer wrote a libretto for the opera "Three Astronauts" based on the novel by Umberto Eco, which has not yet appeared due to copyright problems with the original work. In 2011, the St. Petersburg group Helguard recorded the song “The End of the World” based on the novel “Twilight”, in the spirit of power and melodic death metal.
