Heinz G. Konsalik
Heinz Günther Konsalik, pravim imenom Heinz Günther, bio je njemački književnik rođen 1921. u Kölnu, a umro 1999. u Salzburgu. Studirao je teatrologiju, povijest književnosti i germanistiku u Kölnu, Münchenu i Beču, a iskustvo Drugoga svjetskog rata, u kojem je bio teško ranjen na Istočnom bojištu, snažno je obilježilo i njegov život i književni rad. Smatra se jednim od najčitanijih i komercijalno najuspješnijih njemačkih autora poslijeratne Njemačke, s više od 150 romana i desecima milijuna prodanih primjeraka.
Pisao je popularne ratne, ljubavne, pustolovne i medicinske romane, često smještene u dramatične povijesne ili egzotične prostore. Njegovo najpoznatije djelo je Liječnik iz Staljingrada (Der Arzt von Stalingrad), a među naslovima prevedenima na hrvatski navode se i Liječnik iz Sartenea (Der Arzt von Sartene), Zvijezda Afrike (Der Stern von Afrika), Jantarna soba (Das Bernsteinzimmer) i Uzletište (Die Rollbahn). Iako ga književna kritika nije uvijek visoko vrednovala, Konsalik je stekao veliku čitateljsku publiku zahvaljujući napetoj radnji, emocionalnosti i pristupačnom stilu.
