With a working title Mr. Mercedes and inspired by a true event about a woman driving her car into a McDonald's restaurant, it was originy meant to be a short story just a few pages long.[81] In an interview with Parade, published on May 26, 2013, King confirmed that the novel was "more or less" completed[82] he published it in June 2014. Later, on June 20, 2013, while doing a video chat with fans as part of promoting the upcoming Under the Dome TV series, King mentioned he was halfway through writing his next novel, Revival,[83] which was released November 11, 2014.[84] King announced in June 2014 that Mr. Mercedes is part of a trilogy; the second book, Finders Keepers, was released on June 2, 2015. On April 22, 2015, it was revealed that King was working on the third book of the trilogy, End of Watch, which was ultimately released on June 7, 2016.[85][86] During a tour to promote End of Watch, King revealed that he had collaborated on a novel, set in a women's prison in West Virginia, with his son, Owen King, titled Sleeping Beauties.[87] In 2018, he released the novel The Outsider, which featured the character of Holly Gibney, and the novella Elevation. In 2019, he released the novel The Institute. In 2020, King released If It Bleeds, a collection of four previously unpublished novellas. In 2022, King released his latest novel, Fairy Tale. Analysis Writing style and approach Stephen King in 2011 King's formula for learning to write well is: "Read and write four to six hours a day. If you cannot find the time for that, you can't expect to become a good writer." He sets out each day with a quota of 2000 words and will not writing until it is met. He also has a simple definition for talent in writing: "If you wrote something for which someone sent you a, if you cashed the and it didn't bounce, and if you then paid the light bill with the, I consider you talented."[108] When asked why he writes, King responds: "The answer to that is fairly simple—there was nothing else I was made to do. I was made to write stories and I love to write stories. That's why I do it. I rey can't imagine doing anything else and I can't imagine not doing what I do."[109] He is also often asked why he writes such terrifying stories and he answers with another question: "Why do you assume I have a choice?"[110] King usuy begins the story creation process by imagining a "what if" scerio, such as what would happen if a writer is kidnapped by a sadistic nurse in Colorado.[111] King often uses authors as characters, or includes mention of fictional books in his stories, novellas and novels, such as Paul Sheldon, who is the main character in Misery, adult Bill Denbrough in It, Ben Mears in 'Salem's Lot, and Jack Torrance in The Shining. He has extended this to breaking the fourth w by including himself as a character in The Dark Tower series from The Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Ca onwards. In September 2009 it was announced he would serve as a writer for Fangoria.[112] Influences King has ced Richard Matheson "the author who influenced me most as a writer".[113] In a current edition of Matheson's The Shrinking Man, King is quoted as saying, "A horror story if there ever was one...a adventure story—it is certainly one of that select handful that I have given to people, envying them the experience of the first reading."[114] Other ackledged influences include H. P. Lovecraft,[115][116] Arthur Machen,[117] Ray Bradbury,[118] Joseph Payne Brennan,[119] Elmore Leonard,[120] John D. MacDonald, and Don Robertson.[121] King's The Shining is immersed in gothic influences, including "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar an Poe (which was directly influenced by the first gothic novel, Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto).[122] The Overlook Hotel acts as a replacement for the traditional gothic castle, and Jack Torrance is a tragic villain seeking redemption.[122] King produced an artist's book with designer Barbara Kruger, My Pretty Pony (1989), published in a limted edition of 250 by the Library Fellows of the Whitney Museum of American Art. Alfred A. Knopf released it in a general trade edition.[88] The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer: My at Rose Red (2001) was a paperback tie-in for the King-penned miniseries Rose Red (2002). Published under anonymous authorship, the book was written by Ridley Pearson. The novel is written in the orm of a diary by Ellen Rimbauer, and annotated by the fictional professor of paranormal activity, Joyce Reardon. The novel also presents a fictional afterword by Ellen Rimbauer's grandson, Steven. Intended to be a promotional item rather than a stand-alone work, its popularity spawned a 2003 prequel television miniseries to Rose Red, titled The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer. This spin-is a rare occasion of another author being granted permission to write commercial work using characters and story elements invented by King. The novel tie-in idea was repeated on Stephen King's next project, the miniseries Kingdom Hospital. Richard Dooling, King's collaborator on Kingdom Hospital and writer of several episodes in the miniseries, published a fictional diary, The Journals of Eleanor Druse, in 2004. Eleanor Druse is a key character in Kingdom Hospital, much as Dr. Joyce Readon and Ellen Rimbauer are key characters in Rose Red.[citation needed] Throttle (2009), a novella written in collaboration with his son Joe Hill, appears in the anthology He Is Legend: Celebrating Richard Matheson.[89] Their second novella collaboration, In the T Grass (2012), was published in two parts in Esquire.[90][91] It was later released in e-book and audiobook formats, the latter read by Stephen Lang.[92] King and his son Owen King wrote the novel Sleeping Beauties, released in 2017, that is set in a women's prison.[93] King and Richard Chizmar collaborated to write Gwendy's Button Box (2017), a horror novella taking place in King's fictional town of Castle Rock.[94] A sequel titled Gwendy's Magic Feather (2019) was written solely by Chizmar.[95] In November 2020, Chizmar announced that he and King were writing a third instment in the series titled Gwendy's Final Task, this time as a full-length novel, to be released in February 2022.[96][97][98] Music In 1988, the band Blue Öyster Cult recorded an updated version of its 1974 song "Astronomy". The single released for radio play featured a narrative intro spoken by King.[99][100] The Blue Öyster Cult song "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was also used in the King TV series The Stand.[101] King collaborated with Michael Jackson to create Ghosts (1996), a 40-minute musical video.[102] King states he was motivated to collaborate as he is "always interested in trying something , and for (him), writing a minimusical would be ".[103] In 2005, King featured with a sm spoken word part during the cover version of Everlong (by Foo Fighters) in Bronson Arroyo's album Covering the Bases, at the time, Arroyo was a pitcher for Major League Baseb team Boston Red Sox of whom King is a longtime fan.[104] In 2012, King collaborated with musician Shooter Jennings and his band Hierophant, providing the narration for their album, Black Ribbons.[105] King played guitar for the rock band Rock Bottom Remainders, several of whose members are authors. Other members include Dave Barry, Ridley Pearson, Scott Turow, Amy Tan, James McBride, Mitch Albom, Roy Blount, Jr., Matt Groening, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, Sam Barry, and Greg Iles. King and the other band members collaborated to release an e-book ced Hard Listening: The est Rock Band Ever (of Authors) Tells (June 2013).[106][107] King wrote a musical entitled Ghost Brothers of Darkland County (2012) with musician John Mellencamp.[citation needed] King was born in Portland, Maine, on September 21, 1947. His father, Donald Ed King, a travelling vacuum salesman after returning from World War II,[10] was born in Indiana with the sur Pollock, changing it to King as an adult.[11][12][13] King's mother was Nellie Ruth King (née Pillsbury).[13] His parents were married in Scarborough, Maine on July 23, 1939.[14] Shortly afterwards, they lived with Donald's family in Chicago before moving to Croton-on-Hudson, York.[15] King's parents returned to Maine towards the end of World War II, living in a modest house in Scarborough. When King was two, his father left the family. His mother raised him and his older brother David by herself, sometimes under strain. They moved from Scarborough and depended on relatives in Chicago; Croton-on-Hudson; West De Pere, Wisconsin; Fort Wayne, Indiana; Malden, Massachusetts; and Stratford, Connecticut.[16][17] When King was 11, his family moved to Durham, Maine, where his mother cared for her parents until their deaths. She then became a caregiver in a local residential facility for the menty chenged.[1] King was raised Methodist,[18][19] but lost his belief in organized religion while in high school. While no longer religious, he says he chooses to believe in the existence of God.[20] As a child, King apparently witnessed one of his friends being struck and killed by a train, though he has no memory of the event. His family told him that after leaving to play with the boy, King returned speechless and seemingly in shock. later did the family learn of the death. Some commentators have suggested that this event may have psychologicy inspired some of King's darker works,[21] but King makes no mention of it in his memoir On Writing (2000). He related in detail his primary inspiration for writing horror fiction in his non-fiction Danse Macabre (1981), in a chapter titled "An Annoying Autobiographical Pause". He compared his uncle's dowsing for water using the bough of an apple branch with the sudden realization of what he wanted to do for a living. That inspiration occurred while browsing through an attic with his elder brother, when King uncovered a paperback version of an H. P. Lovecraft collection of short stories he remembers as The Lurker in the Shadows, that had belonged to his father. King told Barnes & Noble Studios in a 2009 interview, "I k that I'd found when I read that book."[22] King attended Durham Elementary School and graduated from Lisbon High School (Maine) in Lisbon Fs, Maine, in 1966.[23] He displayed an early interest in horror as an avid reader of EC horror comics, including Tales from the Crypt, and he later paid tribute to the comics in his screenplay for Creepshow. He began writing for fun while in school, contributing articles to Dave's Rag, the spaper his brother published with a mimeograph machine, and later began selling stories to his friends based on movies he had seen. (He was forced to return the when it was discovered by his teachers.) The first of his stories to be independently published was "I Was a Teenage Grave Robber", which was serialized over four issues (three published and one unpublished) of a fanzine, Comics Review, in 1965. It was republished the follog year in revised, as "In a Half-World of Terror", in another fanzine, Stories of Suspense, edited by Marv Wolfman.[24] As a teen, King also a Scholastic Art and Writing Award.[25] King entered the University of Maine in 1966, and graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Arts in English.[26] That year, his daughter Naomi Rachel was born. He wrote a column, Steve King's Garbage Truck, for the student spaper, The Maine Campus, and participated in a writing workshop organized by Burton Hatlen.[27] King held a variety of jobs to pay for his studies, including as a janitor, a gas-station attendant, and an industrial laundry worker. He met his, fellow student Tabitha Spruce, at the university's Raymond H. Fogler Library after one of Professor Hatlen's workshops; they wed in 1971.[27] Son of Mykhailo Sulyma, Ivan came from a petty noble (szlachta) family. He was born in Rohoshchi (next to Chernihiv). He served as an estate overseer for Stanisław Żółkiewski and later the family of Daniłowicze who inherited his lands; for that service in 1620 he was awarded three villages: Sulimówka, Kuczakiw and Lebedyn. All the villages today belong to the Boryspil Raion, Kyiv Oblast. His sons included Stepan (died 1659), a captain of Boryspil company, and Fedir (died 1691), a colonel of Pereiaslav regiment. He became popular among the unregistered Cossacks, leading them on campaigns to plunder Crimea and other Ottoman vassal territories. For organizing a revolt on an Ottoman slave galley and freeing Christian slaves[1] he received a medal from Pope Paul V himself. Eventually, Sulyma reached the rank of the hetman, which he held from 1628 to 1629 and 1630 to 1635. In 1635, after returning from an expedition to Black Sea against the Ottomans, he decided to rebel against the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which at that time controlled most of the Cossack territories, and whose nobility was trying to turn militant Cossacks into serfs.[citation needed] Ivan Sulyma took part in numerous campaigns of Sagaidachny against Tatars and Turks. In particular, it was the famous capture of Kafa (modern Theodosia), the main center of the slave trade on the Black Sea, Trapezont, Izmail, and also two attacks on Tsaregrad. On the night of 3 to 4 August 1635 he took the newly constructed Kodak fortress by surprise, burning it and executing its crew of about 200 people under Jean Marion. Soon afterwards however his forces were defeated by the army of hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski and Sulima was turned over to the Commonwealth by Cossack elders or starshina. Together with several other leaders of his rebellion, Hetman Sulyma was executed in Warsaw on 12 December 1635. At first, the Polish King Władysław IV Waza, known for his friendly attitude towards the Cossacks, was hesitant to execute Sulyma, especially since he was a person upon whom the Pope himself bestowed his medal. However, pressured by the nobility who wanted to show that no rebellions against the 'established order' would be tolerated, the order for an execution was given; after being tortured, Sulyma was cut to pieces and his body parts were hung on the city walls of Warsaw.[2] Here is the translation of the text you provided: --- These heartfelt lines by Volodymyr Sosiura are about Lysychansk, a city with a unique fate, an unmistakable appearance, strong labor traditions, and a rich, vibrant history. Lysychansk, a city of regional significance located in the northwestern part of the Luhansk region of Ukraine, is one of the oldest settlements in Donbas. According to the List of Historical Settlements of Ukraine, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 878 dated July 26, 2001, its foundation dates back to 1710. The Lysychansk City Council also governs the cities of Novodruzhesk and Pryvillia. As of October 1, 2011, the population was 120,845 people, including 7,943 in Novodruzhesk and 7,942 in Pryvillia. The city's area is 9,562 hectares. The distance from Lysychansk to Luhansk is 113 km by rail and 80 km by road. The city is served by two bus stations and four railway stations, the oldest of which, "Lysychansk," opened for train traffic on May 3, 1879. The city's coat of arms was approved by the decision of the 16th session of the City Council of People's Deputies of the 21st convocation on June 9, 1993. It features a shield framed by a black ribbon with the city's name written in Ukrainian at the top. The shield is painted in equal vertical proportions with the colors of the city flag, with a golden fox sitting on a piece of coal in the middle stripe. The liberation of Lysychansk from Nazi invaders in 1943 is celebrated as City Day on September 2. The emergence of Lysychansk is inextricably linked with the birth of the coal industry. In accordance with the decree of Catherine II dated November 14, 1795, the first mine in Donbas was laid in Lysychansk, which was part of the structure of the Luhansk Foundry and was intended to provide fuel for the plant, the Black Sea Fleet, industry, and the population of southern Russia. In 1799, for the first time in Russia, coal was coked at the mine for smelting ore and cast iron at the Luhansk Foundry. Until 1802, the Lysychansk coal mine was the only coal mining area in Russia. Near the mine, the first mining settlement emerged, which was known as "Lysychansk" from the mid-19th century. By 1801, the settlement of coal miners had 19 state houses and barracks, three state dugouts, 22 private houses, and seven private dugouts, with a population of 556 people, including 162 men, 149 women, and 245 children. Until the mid-1830s, the mine in Lysychansk was the main coal mining area in Donbas, producing three-quarters of the region's coal. The rapid development of the coal industry created a need for mining specialists. On September 1, 1873, the Steiger School was opened in Lysychansk, the first and, until 1878, the only educational institution for training steigers (mining foremen). It was one of the largest institutions of its kind, second only to the Ural Mining School in terms of the number of students. From its inception until 1917, the school graduated 705 steigers, whose professional training was highly valued in Russian coal enterprises. "The Lysychansk School produces the exact class of practical workers that our educational institutions rarely do," wrote D.I. Mendeleev after visiting it in 1888. In 1921, the Steiger School was transformed into a mining technical school. With the launch of the soda plant in Lysychansk in 1892, a new industry emerged - the chemical industry. For over half a century, the plant was a leading producer of soda in Russia. It was the first enterprise of this level in Donbas and the second in Europe. At the end of the 19th century, it employed over 900 permanent workers, and by 1916, 1,545 people. The rich natural resources of Lysychansk, which fostered the development of the coal and soda industries, also led to the emergence and growth of the glass industry. In the spring of 1913, the Livengoft Glass Company began building a glass factory in the village of Rubizhne, which started operating in May 1914. The plant's production volume exceeded that of all other glass factories combined, producing up to 250,000 poods of glass products. The development of industry required reliable transportation. In 1895, the Lysychansk-Kupiansk railway line was opened, and a station named "Nasvetevich" was established near the glass factory, named after General A.A. Nasvetevich (1837-1911), a hero of the Russo-Turkish War and the Balkan campaign, who donated part of his land for the railway construction. Thanks to the emergence and development of the coal, chemical, and glass industries, the equipping of factories with modern machinery, and the exploration and extraction of minerals, Lysychansk became a hub of industrial initiatives, experiments, and innovations. It was home to famous scientists, researchers, and engineers such as L.I. Lutugin, D.I. Mendeleev, I.I. Zelentsov, I.M. Dal, E.P. Kovalevsky, and others. Lysychansk entered the 20th century with significant economic potential, which was hindered by World War I and the revolutionary events that led to the overthrow of the monarchy and the civil war. However, the outbreak of war in 1914 sparked a patriotic surge among the masses, manifesting in demonstrations, charity actions for the army, and mass volunteerism. Students from the Lysychansk Gymnasium and the Steiger School became Red Cross members and active volunteers. Lysychansk native F.P. Medvedev distinguished himself on the fronts of World War I. Leaving his teaching job at the Lysychansk Steiger School, he joined the army voluntarily and quickly rose through the ranks after attending the Chuguyev Military School. For his courage, bravery, and military valor, he was awarded the Orders of St. Vladimir IV degree, St. Anna III degree, and St. George IV degree. In the Baltic Fleet, A. Manstein, a knowledgeable and brave officer, proved himself. He was the great-grandson of A.A. Nasvetevich, whose estate was in Rubizhne. After the October Revolution of 1917, the struggle for power in the Lysychansk region, as in the rest of the country, intensified, dividing the citizens into two opposing camps. On one side, the Lysychansk Council, led by Mensheviks and Socialist-Revolutionaries, did not support the seizure of power in Petrograd. Members of the soldiers' section of the soda plant, which included returning soldiers (about 400 people), attempted to disband the Lysychansk Revolutionary Committee, disarm the plant's Red Guards, and fired at a military echelon retreating under the pressure of German Kaiser troops. On the other side, the majority of Lysychansk residents supported the establishment of Soviet power and actively defended it. In March 1918, a detachment of miners led by K. Lyashenko was formed, which joined the 5th Army of K.E. Voroshilov. Lysychansk miners and chemists participated in battles for Donbas in the Rodakovo station area and other places, and marched to Tsaritsyn with this army. --- Let me know if there's anything else you need! ### Cossack Uprising For one hundred and forty years, Polish Jewry lived relatively peacefully. Suddenly, a severe crisis erupted: Poland seized Ukraine, and the lords divided the fertile lands of the country among themselves. Ukrainian peasants had to work for their new masters and cultivate the lands that once belonged to them. The indigenous people of Ukraine, the Cossacks, suffered from the oppression of the Catholic Church, to which the Poles belonged. The Poles used the services of Jews to collect taxes from Ukrainian peasants. Although the main oppressors were the Polish lords and the money was collected for them, the Cossacks saw the Jews, who took their money, as their main enemies. Therefore, they hated the Jews even more than the Poles. The Cossacks waited long for deliverance from the hated power until an event occurred that led to an explosion. Bohdan Khmelnytsky, one of the Cossack leaders, was severely insulted by a Polish lord, the governor of the city of Chyhyryn. According to many sources, his wife was taken by Polish mercenaries who broke into his house on the lord's orders. Khmelnytsky decided to seek justice in the royal court but was disgracefully expelled from there. Insulted and full of a thirst for revenge, he traveled through Ukrainian towns, telling everyone how he had been treated. He warned that the same could happen to others. Thus, the uprising began. Khmelnytsky understood that the Cossacks could not cope alone with the Polish regular army, so he formed an alliance with their recent enemies, the Tatars. In 1648 (5408), the combined Ukrainian-Tatar forces attacked the Poles and Jews in Ukraine. They killed everyone who fell into their hands. King Władysław, who had gathered an army of only 8,000 men, underestimated the strength of the uprising. The army was defeated, and Władysław died before he could raise a new one. The Polish nobility could not forget old disputes. Even in such a serious time, the election of a new king dragged on for several months. Thus, at a most dangerous moment in history, Poland was deprived of central authority. The initial successes of the Cossacks under Khmelnytsky's leadership in the battles at Yellow Waters and Korsun caused great enthusiasm among Ukrainian peasants—they began to see Bohdan Khmelnytsky as their savior and leader. In the autumn of 1648, the Cossacks conquered the entire area up to the former Polish border and besieged Lviv (Lemberg).
