The World's Most Published and Most Translated Author

This is what I call prolific art. Author, musician, philosopher and photographer L. Ron Hubbard was honoured recently at the Frankfurt book fair with two world records. One confirming he is the world's most published author with 1084 titles and the other being that he is the worlds most translated author with published work in 71 languages breaking the previous record of 65 held again by himself.

From the viewpoint of someone working with creative, that is rather incredible. The amount of works produced is incredible. Taking into account that many of his works are far from small publications. Take for example Battlefield Earth, 1000 page epic in the year 3000, or his dekalogy (10 volume series) at 1.2 million words. That's 11 of the 1084 published titles, not including any of his possible unpublished works.

With the quantity and quality of writing, not including any of his thousands of lectures, films or music, L. Ron Hubbard stands as one the great artists of all times.
