He started his first children's book, "Jim Knopf and Lukas the Locomotive Engineer" (1960), as a diversion. Drawn to the theater in the early 1950's, he failed to make a living as an actor and turned to writing freelance film criticism and film scenarios. His works were translated into 40 languages, sold more than 20 million copies and made him a millionaire. Critics assailed him for encouraging a flight from reality. Scholars called him the last German Romantic writer. Like no other modern German writer of children's books, Mr. The cause was stomach cancer, his publisher said. Michael Ende, the German author whose children's book "The Neverending Story" became an international best seller and was made into a film, died on Monday at a clinic near Stuttgart. ![]()

One thing to remember while reading Code Red is that boy band management is very different to standard band management.

It’s release week for Code Red! Just a few more days to wait… so I thought I’d share some inside info.Ĭode Red is about the lead singer of a boyband (Maddox) and his personal manager (Roscoe). ![]() ![]() ![]() With demand for more stories, Forester filled in Hornblower's life story, in effect.
