Jürgen Neffe
Jürgen Neffe (born 1956[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][7] In 1991, he won third prize in the Egon Erwin Kisch Awards, which are among the most prestigious awards for print journalism in Germany,[8] for his reportage Der Fluch der guten Tat on a burn unit in Pittsburgh, published in GEO.[7]
In 2005, Neffe published a biography on Albert Einstein, which ranked eighth among non-fiction bestsellers that year in Germany.[9] The book was translated into more than ten languages, including English, and received many favorable reviews.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] 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.[17][18][19]
In 2014, Neffe published his first novel, Mehr als wir sind (More than we are).[20]
Neffe lives in Berlin. His wife Hania Luczak is also a writer.
