Jürgen Neffe (born 5 June 1956 in Herne, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany[1]) is a German writer.
Life
Jürgen Neffe received a PhD in biochemistry 1985 from RWTH Aachen University.[2] [3] After graduating, Neffe worked as a reporter for various publications, including Nature, GEO, and Der Spiegel.[1] [3] [4] [5] [6] In 1991, he won third prize in the Egon Erwin Kisch Awards, which are among the most prestigious awards for print journalism in Germany,[7] for his reportage Der Fluch der guten Tat on a burn unit in Pittsburgh, published in GEO.[8]
In the beginning of 2003 he moved from Spiegel to Max Planck Society. He organized, started and then ran its federal office in Berlin for the first year.[9]
In 2005, Neffe published a biography on Albert Einstein, which ranked eighth among non-fiction bestsellers that year in Germany.[10] The book was translated into more than ten languages, including English. In 2007 the Washington Post named it "Book of the Year".[11] It received many favorable reviews.[12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18]
In 2007 and 2008, Neffe traveled for seven months, recreating Charles Darwin's travels on the Beagle. As a result, he published the book Darwin - Das Abenteuer des Lebens, consisting of a combination of travel writing, science reportage on the development of the theory of evolution, and biographical information about Charles Darwin.
In 2011, Neffe created a new interactive e-book format called Libroid.[19] [20] [21]
In 2014, Neffe published his first novel, Mehr als wir sind (More than we are).[22]
In 2017, Neffe published his highly acclaimed biography on Karl Marx, Marx. Der Unvollendete (The unfinished man).[23]
In 2020, Neffe published his second novel, Das Ding. Der Tag, an dem ich Donald Trump bestahl (The Thing. Or: The Day I Stole from Donald Trump).[24]
„Das Ding. Der Tag, an dem ich Donald Trump bestahl“. Die Fachzeitschrift BuchMarkt bezeichnete das Buch als „Der beste politische Roman des Jahres“ [25] Neffe lives in Berlin.[26] His wife Hania Luczak is also a writer.[27]
