Biography


Elizabeth Gilbert is an American writer and author of the bestselling books Eat, Pray, Love, and Great Magic.

American writer Elizabeth Gilbert was born on July 18, 1969, the son of a chemical engineer and a nurse. This event happened in the city of Waterbury, which is located in the state of Connecticut. In the life of Elizabeth, in addition to her parents, there is sister Catherine, who writes books and studies historical events.

The Gilbert family were called hermits. Parents with children lived in a place where there were no neighbors. But next to the house, my father set up a field where trees were grown for the Christmas holidays. In the house where the girls grew up, there were no household appliances, including televisions and tape recorders.

Because of this, Elizabeth did not experience a lack of entertainment because of this, it was customary in the Gilbert family to compose stories and even plays. It is not surprising that the sisters chose such professions in the future.

Elizabeth earned her bachelor's degree. The girl studied to be a political scientist. The writer received this specialty at the University of New York. The girl did not manage to get a job by profession, but Gilbert did not plan to sit on her parents' neck. Elizabeth worked as a waitress, cook, and later as a journalist.

In the future, this experience will help the writer create bestsellers. For example, Gilbert spoke about cooking in short stories.

Literature


Elizabeth's first publications date back to 1993. The story "Pilgrims" appeared in Esquire magazine. This work was presented by Gilbert as "the debut of an American writer." This decision of the publishing house seemed strange to the representatives of the journalistic world, since before Esquire had never published the works of writers whose names were not yet known to the public.

Thanks to this start, Elizabeth began to be invited as a journalist to other publications: SPIN, GQ, The New York Times Magazine, Allure, Real Simple, Travel + Leisure. The cost of the author's publications gradually increased, which could not but rejoice Gilbert, who had to work as a waitress for a normal life in New York.

7 years after the first publication, the film Coyote Ugly was released. The picture tells about the life of a drinking establishment. The plot of this picture is based on articles that Elizabeth Gilbert published in GQ magazine. In them, the journalist described her own work in a bar in New York.

Similar situations with the writer began to occur more often. In 1998, a publication appeared on the pages of GQ entitled "Eustace Conway is not like the person you have ever met." Later, Elizabeth was asked to adapt this article for a film adaptation of the biography of a naturalist. This is how the film "The Last American Man" was born.

In between writing stories for magazines, Gilbert created books. In 1997, the girl published a collection of short stories called Pilgrims. This work brought recognition to the journalist. Elizabeth was even awarded a Pushcart Award, and the writer was also nominated for a PEN / Hemingway Award.

It took Gilbert three years to create a new novel, Strong Men. The New York Times declared this book the bestseller of the year. It wasn't until 2002 that the National Science Book Prize committee considered journalism's talent in an article on the naturalist. For this work, Elizabeth was nominated for an award, but the writer never received the coveted trophy.

None of the articles or books written before 2006 made Gilbert world famous. But everything changed after the publication of Eat, Pray, Love. This book tells the reader about Elizabeth herself, who, after her divorce from her husband, decided to go in search of herself.

Gilbert chose stunning locations for this - Italy, India and even Indonesia. The book describes the events that actually happened to the author. Elizabeth did not hide her feelings and emotions from the readers. “Eat, pray, love” is part of the writer's real life.

Using her story as an example, Gilbert wanted to show that even having everything, you can be unhappy. But you shouldn't live in a world where you are not interested in anything. Every woman has the right to be happy, perhaps for this you have to cross the ocean and overcome thousands of kilometers.

The book "Eat, Pray, Love" shook the society. The famous American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey dedicated two talk show issues to Elizabeth Gilbert's memoirs. Columbia Pictures later contacted the writer. The author of the book and representatives of the film studio agreed to film the journalist's memoirs.

It took several months to shoot, and the result of the work of a large team of scriptwriters, directors, actors, the audience saw in August 2010. Julia Roberts, the star of the films "Pretty Woman" and "Runaway Bride", was invited to play the main character. The actress was accompanied by Javier Bardem (Felipe), Richard Jenkins (Richard from Texas), James Franco (David Piccolo).

Let's go back to February 2010. At this time, fans of the writer Elizabeth Gilbert had the opportunity to get acquainted with the author's new work - a book called Legal Marriage. According to the journalist, this is a continuation of the sensational bestseller "Eat, Pray, Love".

A novelty on the book market told readers why Elizabeth decided to marry Jose Nunes, whom Gilbert calls Felipe in the book. According to Elizabeth, in this work the writer tried to study the institution of marriage, to consider married life from the point of view of science, to understand why women do not want to register a relationship.

Three years after the publication of Legal Marriage, another book appears in the young woman's bibliography - The Origin of All Things. For the next 2 years, the writer worked on "Big Magic".

Once again, the author tries to convey to the reader that absolutely everything is within his power. Inside each person, you can find treasures that were donated to us by nature. The main goal of life is to find and improve them.

The first spouse of the girl is Michael Cooper. The acquaintance of young people took place in the very bar "Coyote Ugly", about which Elizabeth later wrote a book.

At some point, Gilbert realized that it was impossible to live the life that the writer lived, so she dropped everything and went on a long journey. Already in India, Elizabeth met Jose Nunes. In 2017, the lovers decided to legalize the relationship and get married. The newlyweds moved to New Jersey and opened a store with goods from Asia, but after 8 years the couple sold the business.

Another year passed, and a strange post appeared on Elizabeth's Facebook page. The woman told that she had filed a divorce from Jose. The reason for this decision was the friend of the writer Raya Elias. The fair sex have known each other for a long time. Throughout her career as a journalist and bestselling author, Ria supported a friend.

Once Elizabeth realized that between longtime acquaintances there is not just friendship, but a romantic relationship. This Gilbert realized just at the moment when Raya was diagnosed with a serious illness. The writer wanted to be with her beloved, not hiding from relatives and fans.
