Gary Paulsen

Gary Paulsen ( born May 17, 1939 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an American writer who lives in New Mexico.

Life

Gary Paulsen was interested in as a teenager for writing. To escape the cold Minnesota winters, he went to read regularly in libraries. The reading also helped him at the same time to cope with his difficult family situation, as both his parents were alcoholics. He was raised by his grandparents. He began his writing skills to improve by initially corrected magazines. In 1966 his first book was published.

Gary Paulsen took in 1983 and 1985, the longest sled dog race in the world, the Iditarod, part and recorded his experiences in a 1994 book, so the race was known internationally. The book served as a template for the 2001 Disney movie Snow Dogs (Eng. Snow Dogs - Eight heroes on four paws ). He lives with his wife, Ruth Wright Paulsen in New Mexico and has a son with her named James Paulsen.

Work

He has written more than 200 books, many short stories and some pieces that are all primarily for young people. Paulsen has received for his books several times the Newbery Medal, the most prestigious children's literature prize of the United States, awarded for the first time going on a trip for Dogsong, the story of an Eskimo boy by sled dog.
