Simon Mawer

(* 18. září 1948, Anglie)

Simon Mawer je britský autor románů, které se staly světovými bestsellery. Jeho knihy sklidily také několik významných ocenění, jako například McKitterickovu cenu za románovou prvotinu v roce 1990.

Začínal jako učitel biologie ve Spojeném království, na Maltě, Kypru a v Itálii. Jako spisovatel debutoval až ve svých 39 letech, kdy vydal svůj první román Chiméra (1989). Okamžitě si získal čtenářkou popularitu i přízeň kritiky. Poté napsal další úspěšné knihy, mezi které lze zařadit například román Mendelův trpaslík, který byl označen listem New York Times za jedno z nejpozoruhodnějších děl vydaných v roce 1997.

Napsal také dramatický příběh s názvem Evangelium podle Jidáše (česky 2014) a román Pád s horolezeckou tématikou (česky 2013), za nějž obdržel Boardman-Taskerovu cenu. Velký úspěch dále sklidila kniha Skleněný pokoj (2009), která vznikla na základě skutečného příběhu, jenž se odehrál kolem brněnské funkcionalistické vily Tugendhat. Román byl nominován na prestižní knižní cenu The Man Booker Prize. V roce 2012 napsal dramatický thriller Dívka, která spadla z nebe zasazený do období druhé světové války.
