Pavel Kornev

Fictional worlds, wizards-heroes who at first glance do not differ from ordinary people from the daily crowd at the bus stop. Perhaps the passion for the witchcraft and the mysterious, which lives in every person, explains the popularity of the genre of science fiction and fantasy. The author of books about the adventures of necromancers and sorcerers, Pavel Kornev, like no one else, knows the pleasure of creating his own extraordinary world. Readers with gratitude and ecstasy immerse themselves in stories created by a writer who once worked as a bank employee.

The future science fiction writer was born in the Ural industrial city of Chelyabinsk on June 23, 1978. Looking ahead, it should be said that the writer continues to live in his hometown, despite the author's fame overtaking him. Pavel loved to read from childhood. Science fiction writers have become literary favorites since school.

However, at first, Kornev did not see himself as the creator of his own fantasy worlds. After receiving the certificate, the young man entered the prosaic and non-literary economic faculty of Chelyabinsk State University.

After leaving the walls of the university, the former student began to work in his specialty. The man worked in the Sberbank office for 9 years, but in the end, his literary talent manifested itself and completely absorbed Pavel.

As the writer admitted in one of the few interviews, the idea of ​​his own work was prompted by the reading experience. A fan of modern science fiction writers such as George Martin, Jim Butcher, Andrei Cruz, Alexei Pekhov, once thought that he could write himself like them. And sometimes Paul fell into the hands of works that suggest that he is able to write much better and more interesting than their authors.

The beginning of his creative career falls on 2002, and the very next year Kornev began to write systematically and professionally. The first science fiction novel to be published was “Ice.” Originally published in samizdat and fragmentary duplicated in the author’s Live Journal, the text attracted the attention of readers and publishers.

In 2006, "Alpha Kniga" releases a story about the world of eternal cold, where laws establish a sharp blade and witchcraft. The first novel of the author, as they say, “shot”. In addition to a warm welcome from fans of the genre, the writer received positive reviews from critics and colleagues. Immediately in the year of its release, the work was awarded the Russian science fiction prize “Sword without a Name”.

Soon the heroes and the created world of the Borderlands were developed in a cycle with a similar name. Kornev received an offer from the Czech publishing house Fantom Print and the Polish Fabryka Słów to print Borderlands. The author gladly agreed to international cooperation, and the heroes of the cycle received foreign fans.

In 2015, a new section of the Hops and Klondike saga appears, co-authored with Andrey Cruise, an equally famous creator of fantasy. The section lived up to the death of Cruise and in 2018 ended with the release of the epilogue.

Pavel Kornev shared with fans about the end of the story. As the writer explained in an interview, he cannot continue the story of the characters created by a colleague, because he does not know what fate was in store for him according to Andrey's idea. The writer's fantasy was not limited to one world; soon the reader was able to travel back to the Middle Ages, described in Kornev's free interpretation.

The cycle "All-good electricity" tells about the gift of the former detective detective Leopold Orso. The hero is able to revive the fears of others. Having discovered an unusual talent in the first book of the "Shining" cycle, the character who liked the readers continued the misadventures on the pages of "Heartless", "Fallen", "Sleeping", "Faceless".

The craving for mysticism manifested itself in the writing of the cycle "Exorcist". The name speaks for itself. The protagonist of the world created by Paul is fighting demons and demons, waging a fierce struggle against the insidious enemy of the dark forces. In 2013, at the Bastcoin-2013 conference, the cycle was awarded the Afanasy Nikitin Prize.

According to Pavel, several times he received offers to film short stories, in particular the most famous "Ice", but he did not have to directly work on the script of the film and the proposals did not go further.

Modern science fiction writers are far from public popularity and do not flash on the pages of magazines and TV screens with interviews. The details of Pavel Kornev's personal life do not go beyond Chelyabinsk, where the writer lives with his family. It is only known that the author is married.

According to Kornev's assumption, his wife likes his work, since the woman asks to read the newly written stories and chapters of novels. By the way, the author himself is quite critical of his own rough sketches and admits that the work requires special zeal in editing and proofreading. Responsibility and organization helps to cope with laziness, since the publisher rigidly sets deadlines.

In addition to science fiction, the writer loves cinema, however, already in the detective genre. But the craving for the created fantasy worlds is fully expressed in the passion for computer games in the RPG style.

Pavel is a fan of Russian rock, and the heroes of his books sometimes quote the texts of the Agatha Christie group.

The writer's hobby, which brings not only an outlet, but also an additional income, is home brewing. Craft beer, brewed personally by Kornev, is delivered to the cafe and is available to lovers of the foamy drink.

The science fiction continues to delight fans of the genre with new heroes and a narrative about fantasy worlds.

In 2018, the author began work on a new universe existing in the virtual reality of RPG games. The character of the saga “Dead Man's Dear” is killed and imprisoned in the body of the deceased. The cycle contains three books. Starting in The Dead Thief, the story was continued in The Kingdom of the Dead and ended in the epilogue of the Dead Man's Retinue trilogy.

The voice acting of science fiction works in the format of audiobooks is being conducted. In September 2018, readers can listen to a new part of the Exorcist's adventures - Holy Investigation.

It should be noted that the work of Kornev is included in the top sales of the website liters.

Pavel is ready for any development of his own future, and if his career as a writer comes to an end, he will simply return to work in his specialty.
