Christopher Paolini is an American author of fiction in the fantasy genre. He was born in southern California on November 17, 1983. He grew up in Montana in Paradise Valley with his sister and parents, with fantastic mountains rising up on one side that helped inspire some of the beautiful imagery in his Inheritance Cycle series.
Christopher Paolini is well known to his readers for his debut fantasy novel Eragon. It would prove to be the first of a four-book fictional series of novels. He started working on the novel after graduating high school (homeschool learning courses allowed him to graduate high school early at the age of fifteen). The series is set in Alagesia, a made-up land. The book was first released in 2002 by Paolini’s parents’ publishing company.
The family toured many schools and more to promote the book. Paolini went to schools and libraries, speaking on reading and writing, dressed in a medieval costume, and even drew the character of Saphira on the first edition cover art. Paolini composed original maps for the interior of the covers as well. The book was discovered by the stepson of an author who then gave it to Carl Hiaasen, who in turn contacted his own publisher about the novel.
Alfred A. Knopf made an offer for Eragon novel as well as the rest of the Inheritance Cycle series. Paolini agreed, and the second edition of the book was released in August 2003 by Knopf. Paolini was a bestselling author by the time he was 19.
Fox 2000 released a feature film based on Eragon and titled the same in December of 2006. The movie was released internationally and made nearly $249,5 million with a budget of $100 million. The film starred Jeremy Irons, Ed Speleers, Djimon Hounsou, and John Malkovich. It boasted an impressive cast of stars and was the 13th-highest fantasy live-action film at its closing in the United States.
The sequel to Eragon in the Inheritance Cycle series came out in 2005 and was titled Eldest. Just like the first, it made the New York Times Bestsellers List. It was followed by Brisingr in 2008 and the fourth book was titled Inheritance. The series started with the adventures of the main character in a fantasy world and was originally supposed to be a trilogy. The series has done very well. To date, the series has sold over 35 million copies altogether. It has been sold and translated in over 53 countries.
He is happy to hear that his novels have inspired more young people to read more and write novels of their own. He has promised readers that the main character of Christopher from the Eragon series will one day return perhaps with a fifth book; however, he may release a novel in the science fiction genre in the meantime.
