Akif Pirinçci ((:piːʁɪntʃi); born 20 October 1959) is a German writer of Turkish origin who is best known internationally for his novel ''Felidae''. == Biography == Pirinçci was born on 20 October 1959 in Istanbul, Turkey, but emigrated to Germany together with his parents in 1969. He began to write fiction at a young age, and published his first novel ''Tränen sind immer das Ende'' ("tears are always the end") in 1980, at the age of 21. His next literary work, published in 1989, was the novel ''Felidae'', a work of crime fiction with cats as the main protagonists. The novel has been translated into 17 languages and became an international bestseller. Due to the enormous success of the novel, Pirinçci expanded his concept of "''cat crime fiction''" and published several sequels to ''Felidae'', out of which ''Felidae II'' and ''Felidae V (Salve Roma!)'' have been translated into English. An animated movie based on ''Felidae'', the script of which had been co-written by Pirinçci, was produced in Germany in 1994, and was also dubbed in English. Pirinçci has published several other novels which were not set in the fictional world of the ''Felidae'' series – however, none of those works have reached such a high degree of popularity. Lately, however, he had some success with the thriller "The Back Door", which was adapted for the screen in Germany, with Mads Mikkelsen ("Casino Royale") in the leading role. "The Back Door" is the only standalone novel of Pirinçci's that has been translated into English. Pirinçci currently lives in Bonn in Germany. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Akif Pirinçci」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
