Wolter, Richard

Richard Wolter was born in Kirchdorf, a village in Northern Germany. Although, when asked about his origin, he enjoys quoting a phrase of Socrates, slightly changed and tongue in cheek; 'I'm not German, French, English or American, but a Citizen of the World who made Thailand his home'. The author's former vocation in medical technology included extensive worldwide travelling. He started writing at the age of forty in both English and German. So far he wrote Slum Kids, two volumes of short stories in German: 'Das Dorf der Frauen' and 'Das kurze Gluck des Herrn Machatschek' now been translated
