Anton Friedland is truly the embodiment of bohemianness and intellectuality in one person.

Anton Friedland is truly the embodiment of bohemianness and intellectuality in one person. This young Kievan does everything he can with the help of a word: he is a writer, a screenwriter and a very creative postmodernist. Anton's one appearance speaks of his "non-deity": tall, thin, with an eagle profile, disarming glasses and a careless scarf thrown over his shoulder. However, this is not just poetic pathos, all of Friedland’s books are really filled with sophistication, irony and a deep philosophical worldview.
Anton Viktorovich Fridland was born on July 9, 1976 in Kiev. His father came from a family of famous surgeons and his mother came from a family of intellectual dissidents. The boy grew up, on the one hand, in a creative atmosphere, on the other hand, he could not deny himself anything. However, even as a child, Friedland was not particularly interested in material values, he was much more attracted to chess and his own fantasies.
Anton studied well at school, and after graduation he entered the Kiev-Mohyla Academy at the Faculty of Journalism. He began writing his first stories in high school. After graduating from the Academy, he got a job in the magazine “Zephyr”, where he met future publishers. Anton was published both in Russia and in Ukraine. His most famous works are The Smell of Chess (2000), Dear Pleasure (2003), Banana Day (2005). As a screenwriter, he is known for such works as “Evenings on a farm near Dikanka” (2001), “Cinderella” (2002), “Star Holiday” (2006).
Anton Friedland has always preferred to hide his personal life, which is not to say about the famous Ukrainian writer and singer Irene Karp, whom they married in May 2008. About a year later, the couple divorced. Since then, nothing has been known about Friedland's amorous affairs.
