Mine creative way Neil Gaiman started out as a journalist and author comics: part-time work in several British magazines as an author of interviews with stars brings Gaiman together with the Duran Duran group, whose biography becomes the first written book in his career. In 1988, he finished work on Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, based on one of his favorite novels, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams.
The first novel by the then young Neil Gaiman co-authored with Terry Pratchett: 1990 marked the release of the book Good Intentions, which gave Gaiman the love and appreciation of fantasy readers. For the next six years of his life, the writer worked on a fairy tale, the adaptation of which brought him fame outside of Europe. In parallel with this, in 1996, the novel "Nowhere" was created, which is considered one of the key ones in Gaiman's work as an author of fantasy for adults.
At the moment, Gaiman's main novel is considered to be a voluminous work on a mythological basis, telling about modern America, in which the old pagan gods brought to the continent by emigrants collide with the so-called "new gods": media, technology, the Internet, etc. Success " American Gods "pushed Gaiman to write a kind of sequel, which takes place in the same literary universe:" Sons of Anansi "was published in 2005, 4 years after the first book of a kind of cycle.

In addition to novels, Neil Gaiman actively writes and publishes short prose: the author has published 3 collections of stories and one collection of essays.

Books enlighten the soul, raise and strengthen a person, awaken the best aspirations in him, sharpen his mind and soften his heart.
William Thackeray, English satirist
The book is a tremendous force.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Soviet revolutionary
Without books, we now can neither live, nor fight, nor suffer, nor rejoice and win, nor confidently go towards that reasonable and wonderful future in which we unshakably believe.
Many thousands of years ago, a book in hand best representatives humanity has become one of the main weapons in their struggle for truth and justice, and it was this weapon that gave these people terrible strength.
Nikolay Rubakin, Russian bibliologist, bibliographer.
The book is a tool of labor. But not only. It introduces people to the life and struggle of other people, makes it possible to understand their experiences, their thoughts, their aspirations; it makes it possible to compare, understand the environment and transform it.
Stanislav Strumilin, Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences
No better remedy to refresh the mind, like reading the ancient classics; if you take one of them in your hands, even if for half an hour, - now you feel refreshed, relieved and cleansed, lifted and strengthened - as if refreshed by bathing in a pure spring.
Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher
Anyone who was not familiar with the creations of the ancients lived without knowing beauty.
Georg Hegel, German philosopher
No failures of history and dead spaces of time are able to destroy human thought, enshrined in hundreds, thousands and millions of manuscripts and books.
Konstantin Paustovsky, Russian Soviet writer
The book is a sorceress. The book has transformed the world. It contains the memory of the human race, it is the mouthpiece of human thought. A world without a book is a world of savages.
Nikolay Morozov, creator of modern scientific chronology
Books are a spiritual testament from one generation to another, advice from a dying old man to a young man who is beginning to live, an order passed on to a sentry going on vacation, to a sentry taking his place
Human life is empty without books. The book is not only our friend, but also our constant, eternal companion.
Demyan Bedny, Russian Soviet writer, poet, publicist
The book is a powerful instrument of communication, labor, struggle. It equips man with the experience of life and the struggle of mankind, pushes his horizon, gives him knowledge, with the help of which he can make the forces of nature serve him.
Nadezhda Krupskaya, Russian revolutionary, Soviet party, public and cultural figure.
Reading good books is a conversation with the best people of the past, and, moreover, such a conversation when they tell us only their best thoughts.
René Descartes, French philosopher, mathematician, physicist and physiologist
Reading is one of the origins of thinking and mental development.
Vasily Sukhomlinsky, an outstanding Soviet educator and innovator.
Reading is to the mind what physical exercise is to the body.
Joseph Addison, English poet and satirist
Good book- like a conversation with an intelligent person. The reader receives from her knowledge and generalization of reality, the ability to understand life.
Alexey Tolstoy, Russian Soviet writer and public figure
Remember, reading is the most colossal tool in multilateral education.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
Without reading, there is no real education, there is no and there can be no taste, no word, no multilateral breadth of understanding; Goethe and Shakespeare are equal to the whole university. Through reading, a person experiences centuries.
Alexander Herzen, Russian publicist, writer, philosopher
