Christopher Paolini

Christopher Paolini's parents are Kenneth Paolini and Talita Hodgkinson. His father, Kenneth, is of Italian and German descent, while his mother, Talita, is of British and Swedish descent. They have been a supportive influence on Christopher's writing career, and he has acknowledged their role in helping him become a successful author.

The Book ' Brisingr' (also known as 'The Seven Promises of Eragon Shadeslayer and Saphira Bjartskular') was released on Sept 20th 2008 as the third book in the series 'Inheritance Cycle' written by Christopher Paolini. Brisingr means "fire" in the fictional Ancient Language of Alagaesia, and is the true name for Fire, which is the magic Eragon used in the first book. The book is not legally available for free online reading but can be purchased online at Amazon, ebay, or Barnes and Noble.

Christopher has created elves that are agnostic and/or in some cases atheistic, he has very devoutly religious dwarves and humans, and his main character, Eragon, appears to also be seeking answers about his faith and beliefs. This has lead many to feel that he is using his characters as a platform for his own beliefs. However, Christopher has stated in public interviews, particularly a 2008 Herald Sun interview, that he will not discuss his own beliefs in public, but that he will say that the beliefs he has given his characters do NOT necessarily represent what he himself believes. He states that he wanted to give his characters a "well-rounded" set of beliefs and belief systems to make them more interesting to readers, and adds that he feels that it shouldn't matter to readers what his own private personal beliefs are. He emphasizes that this is an imaginary world with imaginary beings, and insists that people should not get so caught up in trying to figure out if he is inserting any "hidden agendas".

Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, but he will write 1 more it's name is unknown

Christopher Paolini has announced that he is working on a new book set in the world of "Eragon," but there is no confirmed release date yet for his fourth book. Fans will need to stay tuned for updates from the author.

Christopher Paolini has stated that while he appreciates the effort that went into making the Eragon movie, he acknowledges that it deviated significantly from his original vision in the book. He has expressed some disappointment with certain aspects of the adaptation but remains grateful for the opportunities the movie brought to his career.

well, look at all of the websites like shurtugal.com. i am not sure about it. I have seen it's Aviv889@gmail.com

but not 100% positive.

There will be a total of four books in The Inheritance Cycle. Christopher Paolini has advised that he still intends to continue writing after this, but it will be with a different storyline and most likely some new sets of characters. He hasn't ruled out bringing some old characters back.

he's 17, they show his birthday in i think eragon or maybe eldest

EDIT: At the beginning of Eragone he is 15, a few pages later he is 16. So by the time the last book ends (Inheritance) he could be anywhere between 16 and 19.

There are to be four books in the series. So far Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr have been released. The fourth book is called Inheritance and will be published on November 8th 2011.

His old fan mail address was Christopher.Paolini.Fan.Address@gmail.com. However this address has been closed since it was created. From what I have heard he does not have an email that he personally checks.

christopher paolini is a guy that is an author.....!

From what I heard, and what I can answer, they are trying to make Eldest into a movie, but with everything they pretty much messed up in Eragon the Movie, it's going to be hard to find what will go into Eldest to make it match up and still follow the original storyline.

My friend said no, but I'm most likely sure it will be filmed, I say it might be finished 2009 or 2010 but that is just a wild guess.

Hopefully not because the first film was so bad. They totally changed half the storyline so I don't think they would be able to film a second one as it wouldn't fit.

By someone else,

You! Yeah, you up above me! Listen, It WILL be made into a movie because I've seen the trailer. Also, you are right about the movie being cheesy, they changed half the story and it was too short. I liked it anyways.

I hope not, they screwed up the first one so bad it would be impossible. And because of how much they changed the movie I now hate it(the movie not the book, i am in love with the book).

****DRAGON LOVER****

The first movie was terrible because the Ra'zac got killed then and aren't suppose to until the 3rd book. But they could always just kill the parents instead i guess. Plus Murtagh wasn't taken away, there were no twins, and Adjahed didn't die. If they are able to make the movie i give props to the director. I say it should be a movie tho so yeah. GO DRAGONS

~A new person (Yeah I'm adding on!)~

Okay to the person on top of me. First of all, Murtagh wasn't taken away until Eldest, AND Ajihad doesn't die til the next one either. k? And to the people up above that, you're right they screwed Eragon up SO BAD it's probably impossible to make a second movie. Christopher Paolini is probably pissed off. But I gotta say Eragon the movie wasn't screwed up as much as some others (ex: The Lightning Thief). And I hear they're making a movie for them, so it might happen. But the movie for Eragon was s'posed to come out about 2 years ago. So I'm not that sure either.

Christopher Paolini has been involved with several charitable organizations, including First Book, which provides books to children in need, and Reach Out and Read, which promotes early childhood literacy. He has also supported the International Fund for Animal Welfare and the Wildlife Conservation Society through donations and awareness-raising efforts.

On the first day the book was released, Brisingr sold 500,000 copies in North America alone. (From the Canadian Press article) According to publisher Random House Children's Books, "Brisingr" sold 550,000 copies in the first 24 hours, four times higher than "Eldest," the second of Paolini's planned four-book series. It was the highest opening ever for a Random House children's book, but far below the 8.3 million copies in the United States alone for the launch of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," and the 1.3 million for Stephenie Meyer's "Breaking Dawn," released at midnight on Aug. 2.

As of 2021, Christopher Paolini's net worth is estimated to be around $3 million. He achieved success and wealth through his popular book series, "Eragon," which was adapted into a movie.

Actually, Eragon was originally self-published. So, he had to pay someone to publish it, rather than the other way around. He was making a loss. Later, when it was picked up by a professional publisher, he did start to make money. He earns from each book sold, rather than a fixed salary.

Christopher Paolini's parents are Kenneth Paolini and Talita Hodgkinson.

In the acknowledgments Paolini said,

For those of you that understood the reference to a "lonely god" when Eragon and Arya are sitting around the campfire, my only excuse is the Doctor can travel everywhere, even alternate realities. Hey, I'm a fan too!

He was referring to a section of the book that Arya wrote something on the ground. It said,

Adrift upon the sea of time, the lonely god wanders from shore to distant shore, upholding the laws of the stars above.

It was a reference to Dr. Who. It didn't really play into the plot of the book, but was Paolini's way of giving props to the Doctor as a fan himself.

Christopher is atheist

Christopher Paolini has won the 2006 Quill Award which is voted upon by the consumers not by the critics. He also won the following awards: Rebecca Caudill Young Readers' Book Award, 2006, for Eragon; Quill Award, Young Adult/Teen category, 2006, for Eldest.

It doesn't seem to be public.

You could try asking his publisher. http://knopfdoubleday.com/contact-us/ (Make it clear if you are asking for fan contact information of business contact information.)

Alternately, http://www.shurtugal.com/ has a monthly question and answer segment that you can participate in.

Yes, Eragon's mother, Selena, plays a significant role in the Inheritance series, particularly in the third book, "Brisingr." In this book, Eragon learns more about her past and her connection to his own destiny.

Christopher Paolini has a sister named Angela.
