Wolfgang Hohlbein (born August 15, 1953 in Weimar, Thuringia) is a German writer of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. He is quoted saying it is she who brings the "fairytale-magic" to his works. Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, ''Märchenmond'' (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by ''Ueberreuter Verlag'', soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today. Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English, not even the eight Indiana Jones novels he wrote. In 2006, ''Magic Moon'' was translated into English and published in the United States. He says that ''Hagen von Tronje'', his adaptation of the Germanic legend of the same name, is his favorite among his own novels. ==Bibliography (Selection)== * 1984 ''Die Kinder von Troja'' – (''The Children of Troy'') * 1986 ''Hagen von Tronje'' – (''Hagen of Tronje'') * 1987 ''Midgard'' – (''Midgard'') (with Heike Hohlbein) * 1987 ''Das Siegel'' – (''The Seal'') * 1988 ''Drachenfeuer'' – (''Dragon Fire'') * 1988 ''Die Moorhexe'' – (''The Moor Witch'') * 1989 ''Odysseus'' – (''Odysseus'' – Greek name for ''Ulysses'' from Latin Name ''Ulixes'') * 1989 ''Der Greif'' – (''The Gryphon'') * 1989 ''Der letzte Aufschlag'' – (''The Last Service'') * 1990 ''Das Teufelsloch'' – (''The Devil's Hole'') * 1990 ''Der Inquisitor'' – (''The Inquisitor'') * 1990 ''Magog'' – (''Magog'') * 1991 ''Spiegelzeit'' – (''Mirror Time'') * 1992 ''Unterland'' – (''Underland'') * 1992 ''Videokill'' – (''Videokill'') * 1993 ''Das Druidentor'' – (''The Druid Gate'') * 1993 ''Die Prophezeiung'' – (''The Prophecy'') * 1994 ''Die Bedrohung'' – (''The Menace'') * 1995 ''Dreizehn'' – (''Thirteen'') * 1995 ''Stirb langsam – jetzt erst recht'' – (''Die Hard with a Vengeance'') (after the movie of same name) * 1996 ''Das Netz'' – (''The Net'') * 1996 ''Die Rückkehr der Zauberer'' – (''The Return of the Sorcerers'') * 1996 ''Schattenjagd'' – (''Shadow Hunt'') * 1997 ''Katzenwinter'' – (''Cat Winter'') * 1997 ''Wolfsherz'' – (''Wolvenheart'') * 1998 ''Die Nacht des Drachen'' – (''The Night of the Dragon'') * 1998 ''Wyrm'' – (''Wyrm'') * 1999 ''Dunkel'' – (''Dark'') * 1999 ''Krieg der Engel'' – (''War of the Angels'') * 2000 ''Das Avalon-Projekt'' – (''The Avalon-Project'') * 2001 ''Flut'' – (''Flood'') * 2003 ''Das Buch'' – (''The Book'') * 2004 ''Der Ring der Nibelungen'' – (''The Ring of the Nibelungs'') (with Torsten Dewi) * 2004 ''Feuer'' – (''Fire'') * 2004 ''Das Blut der Templer'' – (''The Blood of the Templars'') (after the German movie of the same name) * 2005 ''Das Blut der Templer II – Die Nacht des Sterns'' – (''The Blood of the Templars II – The Night of the Star'') (with his daughter Rebecca Hohlbein) * 2005 ''Anubis'' – (''Anubis'') * 2005 ''Die Tochter der Himmelsscheibe'' – (''The Daughter of the Skydisk'') * 2006 ''Das Paulus-Evangelium'' – (''The Paulus-Gospel'') * 2007 ''Die Rache der Nibelungen'' – (''The Revenge of the Nibelungs'') (with Torsten Dewi) * 2007 ''Horus'' – (''Horus'') * 2007 ''Sturm'' – (''Storm'') * 2007 ''Unheil'' * 2010 ''Thor'' – (''Thor'') * 2010 ''Wir sind die Nacht'' – (''We Are The Night'') * 2010 ''Die Tochter der Midgardschlange'' -(''The daughter of the Midgard serpent'') 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「Wolfgang Hohlbein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
