Irena Barbara Kuhn

Joanna Chmielewska is a famous writer and founder of the literary genre of ironic detective story, who glorified Poland with her work. The woman has always had a strong-willed and strong character. During the 81 years she lived, she went through a large number of bright events and acquaintances with the most interesting personalities, who later served as prototypes for the heroes of her literary works.

The biography of Irena Barbara Kuhn (née Irena Barbara Joanna Becker) began on April 2, 1932, in an average Polish family. Her father was an employee of one of the Warsaw banks. The man was constantly busy with work, so he did not have enough time to raise his daughter - her mother and two aunts were engaged in this. Thanks to one of them - journalist Lucina - the girl learned French from an early age, was fond of literature and was diversified.

Joanna's calm childhood ended after German troops attacked Poland in 1939. The future writer had to leave school and gain knowledge only in private lessons with her aunt. Subsequently, the girl continued her studies at the boarding school at the local monastery. After defeating the Nazis, Poland felt the spirit of freedom, but for a long time Warsaw had to rebuild its infrastructure.

Khmelevskaya, having graduated from the boarding school with excellent scores, decided to get a higher education. She was always attracted to engaging in creativity and the reproduction of the beautiful, so young Joanna, having gone through painful thoughts, went to conquer the Architectural Academy. However, good or bad, the student never became a talented and great sculptor.

Joanna Khmelevskaya died ... thin, intelligent, optimistic ... how sad it is!

According to her contemporaries, the final point for Khmelevskaya was a trip to France. There she saw a chapel in the city of Orly, after which she realized that she would never create something as beautiful and significant. After that, the girl began to look for new talents in herself.

Her attraction to literature triumphed, so Joanna decided to try to earn her bread through the craft of writing. The first works brought in too little income. The money raised was barely enough for life, in this regard, the author decided to turn to the criminals - she began to smuggle rare goods that she illegally transported to her native Poland from Denmark. The forbidden business began to develop successfully, so that Joanna miraculously managed to escape prison.

The first success overtook a woman in the 1960s. Her debut novel titled "Wedge by Wedge" pleased readers and remains relevant to this day. In addition to money and fame, Khmelevskaya received flattering reviews from critics and early admirers. Later, Ioanna's bibliography comprised over 60 books in the genres of ironic detective and autobiographical prose.

All the works of the woman contain a famously twisted plot, interesting interweaving of events, numerous heroes with a real prototype and, of course, brilliant subtle humor and irony, which give special value to Khmelevskaya's novels. Joanna accidentally found her own genre. As the writer said in an interview, life always contains something funny, entertaining and energizing.

For the sake of experiment, she wrote her debut books in the best traditions of an ironic detective story, after which she realized that it was interesting and fun, continuing to work in a similar direction. When creating book images, a woman took real people as a basis - her friends and acquaintances, as well as the author herself, often became the heroes of Joanna's books. She specified in advance whether relatives would be against such "popularity", but, as a rule, there were no refusals.

For example, in the novel All Red, the main characters are the writer Joanna Polanskaya and her best friend, Alicia Hansen. Of course, Joanna's professional path was not carefree and easy. Like many creative people, she was overtaken by a crisis and censorship, the woman tried for a long time to find herself. Despite this, all of Khmelevskaya's works are intriguing and not alike.

She even had a book with recipes that came out very unusual. The idea to release a publication with popular and tasty recipes came from the author at the time of the release of the novel entitled "Version in stock". In it, the main character obtained the information she needed, preparing a large number of non-standard dishes for the investigator. Fans implored John to tell about her cooking secrets, which were later placed in the "Cookbook".

It is important to say that most of Khmelevskaya's novels might not have been published due to strict censorship. For example, the meaning of "The Crocodile from the Country of Charlotte" was based on official wiretapping. However, the intelligence officers did not use this method to collect the necessary information. Because of this, the writer was forced to transform the wiretap into a personal desire of citizens. And the high-ranking antagonists of the "Cursed Legacy" have long served as a barrier to the press.

Despite this, Joanna remained optimistic even in such difficult situations. She reacted to any prohibitions and reproaches of the censors with updated changes that suited them, but did not spoil the meaning of the work.

Ioanna was happy in her personal life with her husband Stanislav for 11 years. In their union, two children appeared, both boys. The former spouses maintained a warm relationship even after the divorce.

The first son was born in 1951. After graduating from the university, he left for a part-time job in Algeria, but very soon returned to his homeland and began to grow mushrooms. The man was well helped by a younger brother named Robert. And he, in turn, eventually moved permanently to Canada. The granddaughter of Khmelevskaya Monika, who received the position of an IT specialist, grew up in this country and still lives.

In addition to writing novels, Ioanna preferred versatile recreation: she played cards, went to the races, collected shell beads, was good at shooting weapons, drove at high speeds and visited the casino.

But Khmelevskaya did not like to use the World Wide Web at all - the Internet was never connected to the computer located at her home. Joanna was panicked by the fact that personal data from her hard drive, for example, photos and videos from her home archives, could be stolen or destroyed by some dangerous virus.

Joanna Chmielewska passed away on the morning of October 7, 2013 in her native Warsaw. The cause of death was a long-term illness from which the woman suffered in recent years. The grave of the writer is located at the Powazki cemetery.
