Ilalong, one of the heritage trilogy

Christopher Paulini began to write his own genetic trilogy four years ago. Ilaron is the first one, which tells the story of a dragon knight's ups and downs. The story takes place in a vast area, and with the history and ancient sayings of different races such as elves and dwarves, it has an epic pattern like the Lord of the Rings. In the country where Eralon lives, there are humans, dragons, elves, dwarves and so on. Every race has its own characteristics. Dragons and dwarves are the aborigines of that land. Although the dragon is an animal, it has extraordinary wisdom and potential. They have a long history, and no one knows about their appearance. The elves crossed the ocean in a silver boat to reach the land. They are super magical, but they are very proud. An elf accidentally killed a dragon, which caused the dragon and the elf to bleed. However, under the lobbying of an elf named Elaron and a dragon named Baidang, the dragon and the elf finally concluded a contract and established the Dragon Knight clan. It took humans three centuries to get there and join the Dragon Knight. Although dwarves are short in stature, they have lovely personalities. They disappeared into the ground and disappeared into this world when the Dragon Knight Team perished.

Soon after its publication, the book became a best seller, with a large number of fans like the Harry Potter series. In 2005, 20th Century Fox bought the copyright of the book at a high price of several hundred thousand dollars, and invested 1 100 million yuan to make a movie of the same name.

An American post-80s writer pushed harry potter and the half-blood prince to the top of the bestseller list with his legacy trilogy The Elder. The book was listed in the United States at the end of August 2005, with an initial print run of 6.5438+0.3 million copies, and more than 400,000 copies were sold in the first week of listing. At present, it has surpassed the sales of the first book and become the fastest-selling book in the history of the famous Random House in the United States.

Christopher Paulini, the author of this series of works, often wears jeans and carries a black backpack, and looks like a high school student. He is regarded as a legend after J·K· Rowling.

Christopher Paolini was born in 1983 and never received formal education. In 2003, Ilalong, the first part of the trilogy Heritage, which he wrote at the age of 15, became famous in the international literary world. Paolini's fame is full of legend. The first reader of "Ilalon" was Tarita Paolini, Paolini's father. Old Paolini used to be the executive manager of a publishing company. Because of his professional sensitivity, he immediately realized the value of this book after reading his son's works. He decided to publish the novel at his own expense with his family savings.

So, their family of three registered a publishing house and set the first print run as 10000 copies. At first, the book was difficult to sell, but when it reached the end of its tether, it suddenly took a turn for the better. The stepson of Carl Heisen, a famous American comedian, took a fancy to this book and recommended it to Heisen, who then recommended it to Nopf Bookstore, a subsidiary of Random House Group. In the end, Nopf Bookstore bought the copyright of Ilalong and its subsequent works with a prepayment of $500,000.

The Heritage Trilogy is deeply influenced by Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Even the hero's name Ilalon is only one letter less than Aragon in The Lord of the Rings. Paolini said: "Reading The Lord of the Rings not only gave me a perceptual knowledge of writing novels, but also inspired me to write from this work."
