Hermann Selchow, Jahrgang 1956, wurde in Schleswig-Holstein geboren. Er wuchs in einer mittelgroßen Stadt in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auf. Schon in fruhen Kindertagen war er vernarrt in Literatur. Vor allem hatten es ihm die klassische Literatur, aber auch Sachbucher und Philosophie angetan. Die Heldensagen und Schreiber der griechischen Antike sind eine alte Liebe. Kein Wunder also, dass er diesen Themen seine ersten Bucher widmete. In seiner Jugend unternahm er erste Gehversuche in der Schreiberei und veroffentlichte einige Kurzerzahlungen in einigen Magazinen. Spater arbeitete er viele Jahre an einem bekannten Theater in Deutschland, wo er diese Liebe ausleben und zum Beruf machen konnte. Er machte sich dann einige Jahre artfremd selbststandig. Im Alter von 67 Jahren traute er sich dann wieder offentlich, als Autor aktiv zu werden. Er lebt in der Nahe von Hamburg. Hermann Selchow veroffentlichte inzwischen mehrere Bucher zu aktuellen und zeitbezogenen Themen. Dabei versucht er seinen eigenen Blickwinkel auf die Geschehnisse der Gegenwart und jungeren Vergangenheit zu finden, ohne die moglichen Ursachen aus den Augen zu verlieren oder zu verfalschen. ====================================== Hermann Selchow, born in 1956, was born in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He grew up in a medium-sized town in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Even as a child, he was infatuated with literature. He was particularly fond of classical literature, but also non-fiction and philosophy. The heroic sagas and writers of ancient Greece are an old love. It is therefore no wonder that he dedicated his first books to these subjects. In his youth, he took his first steps in writing and published a few short stories in a few magazines. Later, he worked for many years at a well-known theater in Germany, where he was able to live out this love and turn it into a career. He then went into business for himself for a few years. At the age of 67, he dared to become a public author again. He lives near Hamburg. Hermann Selchow has since published several books on current and contemporary topics. In doing so, he tries to find his own perspective on the events of the present and recent past, without losing sight of the possible causes or distorting them.
