Writer, founder of the genre of erotic fiction Philip Jose Farmer (Philip Jose Farmer) was born on January 26, 1918 in the United States, Indiana. After graduating from school, he studied first at the Polytechnic Institute in Peoria, then at the University of Missouri. But to graduate and get a bachelor's degree was only in 1949.
In 1941, Farmer married. Soon a son and daughter were born. To feed his family, Philip took a job in a steel mill: a high-paying job, but hellishly hard. It was during this period that he began his literary career.
The first short story, O'Brien and Aubrenov (1946), was accepted for publication by the editor of Adventure. Entering the taste, Farmer began to write a lot and persistently - the favorite genre of those years was story and story. The works were not wasted and brought the author the writer’s award “Hugo” in the nomination “the most promising author” for the story “Lovers” (1952).
The success of several of the following stories ("Sailing!") On sail!, "Mother") turned Farmer's head, and he decided to leave the work at the factory for the sake of writing, but very soon regretted it. On the literary front, he was disappointed. The works were not published, they did not bring profit.
Finally, seven years later, Farmer was lucky: his novel Green’s Odyssey (1957) was published. But the money is still not enough, and Philip had to wander around America in search of a better life. Only 14 years later, having 12 novels and 3 collections of short stories, he begins to live off his literary talent. Peru Farmer owns the pornographic trilogy “Exorcism”, as well as the novel “Feast of the Secret”.
The most famous two cycles of novels of the writer: “Multi-tiered world” includes 7 novels about the adventures of an earthling in the endless corridors of the Universe. The second cycle, “River World”, tells about the experiment of aliens on the inhabitants of Earth. This motif became the plot of the TV version of the same name in 2001. Subsequently, after the death of the author in 2009, another adaptation of this work will be released.
