The writer Ekaterina Vilmont is today one of the most widely read authors among the female population. The profile of her activity is romance novels, but the creative potential of the writer is much wider. She composes children's detectives, is engaged in literary translations.

Biography

Catherine was born in Moscow in 1946, a year after the end of the war. She was lucky to be born in Father Nikolai Nikolaevich was a sought-after translator, a specialist in German culture. Mother, Natalia Semenovna, worked in a similar specialization (among her works are translations of T. Mann, F. Schiller).

Naturally, due to the specifics of the parents' professions, Catherine lived in a creative environment, often there were guests in the house, including Boris Pasternak, with whom Nikolai Nikolayevich was friends, Faina Ranevskaya, and Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote his Nobel speech at the Wilmont dacha.

Not long thought Wilmont Catherine. The list of books in order suggests what the translator decided to do. Her friend once asked why she is not trying to write something of her own. And Catherine decided. The circulation of her books proves that this choice was not made in vain. From an early age, Catherine spoke, wrote and read in German. Therefore, she did not have a career path. She followed in the footsteps of parents, translated a lot of German fiction. But in the 1990s, the profession ceased to be profitable.

First book

The first work written was the novel "The journey of an optimist, or All the women are fools." He came out in 1995.

All the heroines of the books of Catherine Vilmont are fictitious, but only the first, according to the author himself, has autobiographical features. Even the name of a loved one is not changed there - his name is Marat.

Catherine’s personal life did not work out. She has no husband, no children. But this did not affect the optimistic character of the writer, she takes her life as it is. Actually, he advises his readers the same thing. No wonder her books are called the best cure for spleen and depression.

Catherine’s books can be easily recognized by their biting names. For example, the second novel is named "Luck, or All the Men Goats." The second part of the name is very relevant for the author himself, since only such men met in her life. All of Catherine’s love affairs were connected with married men. She did not hide this fact and repeatedly mentioned in an interview that she did not want to take anyone from the family, and she did not steal it.

Recent work

Most recently, the writer has published such novels as "Do We Fig, Beautiful Ladies," "With All the Foolishness!" Even the names show how positive Wilmont's creative world is. The content of her books confirms this, of course.

The heroine of the first novel Ariadne is smart, attractive and successful in everything that is valued in our modern world. And she seems to have no doubt that her life is a full bowl, especially since each of her entourage considers it her duty to tell her about it. But everything changes dramatically when a girl meets her true love.

The heroine of the second work is not so rosy. Lada recently experienced a great tragedy and bitter disappointment. But despite the ups and downs of life, she, like all women, dreams of love and simple happiness.

The best novels

Among the best works of the writer, her first novel can be distinguished, since he opened to the literary world a mischievous, but at the same time lyrical person.

The greatest interest in the public is the book "Chicken in Flight" about the economic girl Ella, who loves to cook. There were men in her life, but she never met the one whom she would like to cherish and cherish. Her whole life is a search for her happiness.

The character of the book “Hormone of happiness and other nonsense”, on the contrary, has everything: favorite work, beauty, and even the groom. But she cannot feel fully happy. This causes bewilderment of the reader, but as events unfold, everything falls into place. Rushing into the pool with his head, radically changing his life, the heroine finally finds happiness.

Many lovers of Wilmont love her books, where the main character is a man. For example, in the novel “An Intelligent and Two Rita,” we are talking about Professor Tveritinov, who got confused in the intricacies of his life and is trying to find an entrance.

Films of novels

Wilmont’s third book, Three Half Graces, was filmed. One of the main roles was played by Alena Khmelnitskaya and Bogdan Stupka.

By the way, Vilmont Ekaterina (see the list of books in order below) is often dissatisfied with the work of directors. They make a lot of changes to the original idea, they get too many inconsistencies and absurdities. Her tenth book, “Chicken in Flight,” according to the author, was transferred to the screen simply ugly. The director even changed the ending, which destroyed the entire ideological series of the work. The film was released under the title "Prescription Happiness", which the writer also did not like.

Also based on the books of Wilmont, the series “Love is Blind” was shot with Ekaterina Semenova in the title role, and the series “I Love You”, in which Maria Shukshina, Yaroslav Boyko and Alexander Abdulov played.

Detectives

Wilmont Ekaterina (a list of books in order is presented in this article) has released more than a dozen children's detectives. In total, three series have been created:

Each series has several books. They attract attention by the sharpness of the plot, all the heroes of the writer are quite inventive and savvy. Wide geography attracts many in her books. For example, the actions of some detectives take place in Israel, Italy and Germany. Despite the entertaining nature of the works, for most children they can become instructive, as the author skillfully weaves everyday and historical details into the plot threads.

Judging by the readers' feedback, the books resonate with their souls. Therefore, it was not in vain that more than ten years ago Vilnont Ekaterina chose the writing field for herself. The list of books in order proves this, because it is huge.

One of the best contemporary novelists is Catherine Wilmont. List of books in order and in series. Her best works that you definitely need to read.

Catherine Wilmont - biography

Ekaterina Nikolaevna Vilmont is a translator and popular Russian writer of our time, working in the detective and melodramatic genres. Catherine was born on April 24, 1946 in an intelligent family. Her parents have been engaged in professional translations all her life, so the girl from childhood studied various languages \u200b\u200band dreamed of following in the footsteps of her father and mother. The craving for writing was noticed by Wilmont at school - she was a member of the literary circle, having got into it after a successfully written story.

At the age of fifteen, Katya completed the first translation - from Chinese - and received parental approval. The girl firmly decided that she would deal with translations professionally. After school, she graduated from the German language courses, although this was only a formality - Catherine received all the luggage of philological knowledge at home. Wilmont has no higher education.

For almost three decades, Ekaterina Nikolaevna successfully translated works of art from German. Even her colleagues could envy the quality of her work. At first they did not believe that the translator worked herself and attributed all the merits to her parents. However, over time, Catherine proved her professionalism, gaining respect and recognition.

Vilmont set foot on the writing path at a rather late age - almost fifty years old. The reason was simple - she wanted popularity. 1995 was marked by her debut novel, The Journey of the Optimist, or All the Women of the Fools, published two years later. The first book of Catherine made it clear that a new talented author has appeared in modern literature, creating soulful melodramas with love experiences - always a relevant genre for the fair sex. The basis of this work is the story of the unhappy love of the author himself. Having thrown out all the pain on paper, the writer felt enormous relief. This method of peace of mind Catherine took into service and constantly used it. As for family relations, Wilmont has a special opinion - she has no children and has never been married, since she considers this optional for a woman.

After a successful debut, the author immediately took up two episodes in the genre of a children's detective with elements of a love melodrama - Detective Bureau “Quartet” and “Dasha and Co.” (another name for the cycle is “First Love and Dangerous Investigations of Dasha Lavretskaya”). A light detective theme captivated the writer, and at the beginning of the two thousandths another similar cycle appeared - “Once evidence, two evidence!” (Another name is “Goshka, Nikita and Co.”). The fun and adventurous adventures of friends, coupled with action-packed investigations, received a huge amount of rave reviews from readers.

After three detective episodes, Ekaterina Nikolaevna decided to focus on romance novels. She creates off-cycle works and entire series of works of the melodramatic genre, with each new book becoming increasingly popular. In the characters of her novels, many readers recognize themselves and their friends. A peculiarity of the author's style is an amazing combination of egregious realism and a humorous manner of narration with a predominant share of irony. Thanks to this, all the books of Catherine Vilmont are read quickly and easily, they make you experience a whole gamut of emotions - from bitterness and hopelessness to peace and excitement.

The works of the modern novelist constantly occupy high lines of reader ratings. The following romance novels are recognized as the author’s best books: “The Optimist’s Journey, or All the Women Fools,” “Luck, or All the Men Goats,” “Three Half-Graces, or A Little about Love at the End of the Millennium,” dilogy “The Cool Lady”.

To date, the works of Catherine Wilmont are published in millions of copies. By 2017, the novelist’s creative piggy bank contains more than thirty novels and more than forty stories and short stories (as a rule, they make up her detective cycles). The writer more than once fell into the lists of the best-selling Russian authors of our time, annually compiled by the Russian Book Chamber. In addition, Ekaterina Nikolaevna is among the top five most famous writers who create works on the relations of men and women. At the beginning of the 2000s, several films were shot based on the works of a talented novelist - the melodrama series Love is Blind, I Love You, Three Half Graces and Prescription Happiness, as well as the one-part film Snow Angel. The last film was awarded the prestigious TEFI Award for Best Television Picture. Despite the success of all the films, the author is unhappy with the adaptation of his works. Catherine claims that the directors have changed a lot in the storylines, and she barely recognizes her work in films (in her opinion, the mini-series “Three Half Graces” is the most successful and believable).

Today, the famous writer lives in Moscow. Her hobbies include traveling and cats. According to Ekaterina Nikolaevna, she has an extensive collection of cats - more than five hundred. Also, the novelist likes to spend time in a relaxed home environment, playing backgammon, playing solitaire or just watching TV.
