Alexander Alexandrovich Bushkov is a Russian writer whose books are loved by readers. Speaking about the sharp plot and detective fantasy, it should be noted that the writer writes in these genres, which brought him fame in literary circles.
Biography of Alexander Bushkov
The writer was born on April 5, 1956 in a small town in the Krasnoyarsk region.
In his school years, the writer was not worried about literature. He says about himself that as a schoolboy, he was a bully and a loser. The boy did not like studying so much that after receiving documents on secondary education, Alexander did not begin to go anywhere in order to increase his knowledge in one or another field.
Despite the fact that, at his own request, the writer refused to receive higher education, Alexander was engaged in self-development, reading books and textbooks of those fields of science that were interesting to the young writer.
In literary circles, you can hear conversations that the personal library of the writer Bushkov is so huge and varied that Alexander Alexandrovich had to finish building the second floor of his house in order to fit his wealth.
Beginning of the bibliography of Alexander Bushkov
If we talk about the circulation of the books of the writer, then today sold more than 17 million copies of works.
Starting his writing career at the age of 20, as a young guy, already in 1981, Bushkov’s novel was published, which was the first in his writing career. The writer did not stop there. For a long time he worked on a book, and in 1986 the first collection of short stories and short stories written in the genre of science fiction was published. This first step in the bibliography of Alexander Bushkov pushed him to continue his literary career.
Writer fame
Already in the 90s of the last century, he became famous. Having published the dilogy “Knight from Nowhere”, which was written about the life of Stanislav Svarog, the writer deservedly received recognition from readers.
Speaking about the bibliography of Alexander Bushkov, it is worth noting the fact that the writer writes in completely different literary genres. Among the works, the author of which he is, you can find not only fiction and fantasy, but also detective stories, action films, horrors and even historical stories.
In addition to the fact that the bibliography of Alexander Bushkov is not only diverse in the literary genres of works, it also contains more than 10 cycles of books, which are very voluminous in content.
Series of books "Svarog"
The most famous and voluminous cycle of books by Alexander was the series "Svarog". In order, "Svarog" Alexander Bushkov wrote this:
- "Knight from nowhere."
- "Flying Islands."
- "The Unexpected King".
- "Iron Sails."
- "On the other side of the ice."
- "Damn mill."
- "Blind soldiers."
- "From nowhere to nowhere."
- "The king and his queen."
- "Vertical water."
- "Scarlet as snow."
It should be noted that Alexander is still working on this cycle, inventing and spinning plot events. The last book of the cycle was published in 2017.
The literary activity of the writer
In addition to fiction, Bushkov showed himself as a master of words in journalism. Many of his articles were written about the history of the Russian Empire, about which Bushkov had his own opinion, very different from the opinions of historians.
In 1977, Bushkov’s most famous historical cycle, “Russia, which was not”, was published. He devoted this series of books to those historical concepts that have been accepted in society and are daily explained and inspired by young generations. The writer himself is skeptical of this type of interpretation. That is why in the series of books “Russia, which was not”, Alexander Bushkov offers his own version of the development of events.
In addition to this series, in the archive of Bushkov there is also a series of books "Mysteries of History". In it, Alexander explains historical events, looking at them in a non-traditional way that people used to explain the whole history of the Russian Empire. The criticism of the Russian intelligentsia, which, according to the author, caused the greatest ills to Russian society, a negative attitude to the activities of the Russian emperor, who had cut a “window to Europe”, putting his behavior on a par with that of Nicholas II, can all be found in the content of such critical books by Bushkov.
Books by Alexander Bushkov, devoted to the new time and modernity, already show a completely different attitude of the writer to power. For example, the book "The Haunted House" has become a collection of sympathies for the activities and personality of Vladimir Putin. The book was written about the quality of the controversial events that occurred between 1991 and 2000.
Speaking generally about the writer's work, it is important to say that Alexander Bushkov wrote all the books in order, which is important to consider when reading, since the sequence of these books is as important as their content.
In 2017, another writer’s book was published, exposing, however, not the Russian state, but the United States of America. "Unknown War" tells about the events of the war of 1861-1865, about which Russian society knows very little. The writer himself speaks about these events of what is known, at the same time quite a lot, but at the same time practically nothing. The book does not just interpret military events, it explains in detail the significance of certain actions, separating truth from lies.
Alexander Bushkov: films based on his novels
If we talk about films based on the novels of Alexander Bushkov, then it is immediately worth saying that this list is quite voluminous. For example, the television series Platinum, consisting of two seasons, was shot based on the novel by Bushkov.
The plot of the book by Alexander also formed the basis of the famous series “Piranha Hunt”.
The television series "Flock" is based on the works of the writer.
But in addition to these television series, there are many others that were filmed based on the books and novels of Alexander Alexandrovich Bushkov. The fact that Bushkov’s books formed the basis of many TV shows that the audience loved is already evidence that the writer is really worthwhile. The audience likes the series and films in that the plot invented by the author really captivates and transfers to the atmosphere that Alexander first created in the book, and the director later embodied it on the screen.
Creator Writer Today
All the works written no later than 2015 can be called the new books of Alexander Alexandrovich Bushkov. For example, the fantastic novel “The Witch” was published precisely in 2015, as well as the mystical novel “Forest Legend”, the collection of short stories “The Door to Another's Autumn” and part of the series “Svarog” - “Vertical Water”.
However, there is a book that was released only in 2017. It is another part of the Svarog cycle - Scarlet as Snow.
Despite the fact that the writer is clearly not going to end his writing activity, readers are eagerly awaiting new books, eagerly “swallowing” another new work by Bushkov.
