"与天才对话"E2 —以孩子的眼光看待世界的女作家 | A Little Bit of Genius

他们来自不同行业

他们有着不同的成长背景

但他们充满创造性

都成为了所在领域的翘楚

是什么引领成功

当下和未来，什么又是他们最为关心的

They come from different industries

They grew up with different backgrounds

But they are all creative

And all become the leading player of their field

What leads to their success?

And what do they care most about the present and future world?

嘉宾介绍

Deborah在她8、9岁的时候，就立志要当一名作家，但直到她39岁才发表了她第一部作品。期间那些艰难的岁月，Deborah从未放弃过写作和阅读。她最终是如何获得成功的？如果想成为像她一样的作家，你需要做些什么呢？

Deborah Ellis是一位奖项加身的作家、女权主义者和反战人士。她撰写了全球畅销书《养家之人》（The Breadwinner），以及很多有关世界各地儿童的小说和纪实文学作品，文辞隽永而又富有挑战性。她最新的作品《Sit》讲述了九个孩子的故事，他们发现虽然自己什么都没做错，却身处困境。每个故事中，都有一个孩子做出决定并付诸行动，无论是一件微小的事情还是改变人生的重大选择。

Deb已著有三十多本著作，并获得过全球范围内众多奖项。其代表作《养家之人》的动画电影于2017年上映。

Deborah积极倡导争取选举权。她言行一致，投身慈善事业，将大部分版税收入都捐给了包括联合国儿童基金会在内的非营利机构，以支持全球女性和儿童。她仅从《养家之人》的版税收入中就捐出一百多万美元。

Introduction

Deborah decided to be a writer when she was 8 or 9 years old, but didn’t have anything published until she was 39. In all these difficult years she just kept writing and reading. Want to know how she made it in the end, and what you should do if you also want to be a writer? Let’s listen together to Deborah’s story!

Deborah Ellis is an award-winning author, a feminist and a peace activist. Deborah penned the international bestseller The Breadwinner, as well as many challenging and beautiful works of fiction and non-fiction about children all over the world. Her most recent book is Sit, which tells the stories of nine children and the situations they find themselves in, often through no fault of their own. In each story, a child makes a decision and takes action, be that a tiny gesture or a life-altering choice.

Deb has more than thirty books to her credit, winning the prize all over the world. In 2017, The Breadwinner debuted as a feature animated film.

Deborah is a passionate advocate for the disenfranchised. She “walks the talk,” donating most of her royalty income to worthy causes including UNICEF. She has donated more than one million dollars in royalties from her Breadwinner books alone.
