Ilko Minev

A typical baby-boomer, Ilko Minev was born on May 3rd 1946 in Sofia, Bulgaria. He grew up during communism in Bulgaria. Minev realized that there was no future for him in his homeland. His faith brought him to Brazil, where he met the love of his life. He became a writer at the age of 66, after he retired from his business career in 2012. Apart from the fact that he has been a resident of Manaus, Brazil for 40 years and feels like a native Brazilian, he is still very influenced by his Jewish-Bulgarian roots. His novels address some historical events, which occurred in the writer's life, but their importance has never been well known by the general public. Through his literary works Minev transcends nationalities and is a true citizen of the world. The author has so many real stories to tell, that he barely needs relevant doses of fiction.
