Successful in all spheres, Neil Hollander is widely recognized as a multi-talented person that has been involved in a variety of things including writing, directing, producing and sailing across the World’s oceans. In his early career, after he returned from his sailing trip on an open sea, which lasted for three years, he published several books including "The Yachtsman's Emergency Handbook: The Complete Survival Manual," "Sailor Talk,", which still serve as manuals for surviving on an open sea. For most of his life, he has been advocating for world peace, and through his writing, he has brought closer to the public the dreadful lives and horrific experiences of those people living under a military regime.
His passion and talent made him a unique phenomenon in American literature and cinematography, and his projects like experimental "picture book" based on motives of the political crisis earned him the recognition as one of the most versatile figures in U.S. One of his best-known works is ‘The Last Sailors - The Final Days of Working Sail”, a travel book narrated by Orson Welles, inspired by his fascinating and evocative voyage on open sea, where he captures the spirit of a bygone era and telling the story of men using ancient craft manage to harness the wind and the sea for livelihood, after hearing many stories told by sailors, trades, and people that he had encountered on his trips.
