Neil Hollander
19 booksNeil Hollander is an award winning writer, film producer, director. He is born on July 9, 1939 in New York City, NY only to make Paris, France his home.
Being a sailor himself, Hollander has authored several books about boats and sailing, including The Yachtsman's Emergency Handbook: The Complete Survival Manual, Sailor talk: Essential words and phrases in 6 languages and The Last Sailors: The Final Days of Working Sail which collects author's memories from his voyage dating between 1981 and 1983, on a ten-meter sailboat across the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Ocean. The book recalls author's experience from the 25,000 mile long trip and the different cultures from the various locations he visited on that trip.
Neil is also known to be one of the finest documentary filmmakers in the world, making films that reach a vast spectrum of audience: from kids plays, through interviews with Nobel Prize winners, to documentaries about military regimes around the world.
