Mais Sombrio eBook

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. After his parents' divorce, as a child, he was raised by his mother, Nelly Ruth Pillsbury King. He graduated from the University of Maine with a degree in English in 1970 with a minor in Teaching. He met his wife, Tabitha Spruce, in the corridors of the university library, where they both worked as students. They would marry in 1971.
He published his first novel, Carrie, in 1974, whose publishing contract allowed him to abandon teaching and dedicate himself exclusively to writing. Then? Then it's history, in a literary life with more than fifty years and more than sixty books published. 'Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Stand, Animal Samiery, It, 11/22/63, The Intruder, Billy Summers, Holly or Darker, among others, and all published by Bertrand Editora, make King one of the great masters of modern American narrative, an author who reconciles restlessness, entertainment and literary quality like no other.
Of the many distinctions awarded to the author throughout his career, we highlight the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters (2003), the National Medal of Arts (2014), the PEN America Literary Service Award (2018) and the Hans Christian Andersen Extraordinary Literature Award (2025).
