Live life
Thomas Ross, a native of Berlin, spent his youth in Lower Austria and studied art history in Vienna until 1950. After beginning his career in publishing, he worked as an auditor before becoming a foreign correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in 1965 after years at the Wiener Presse. He first testified as Balkan correspondent from Belgrade, from 1967 to 1973 from Tokyo on East Asia. After a few years at the Frankfurt headquarters, he wrote from New Delhi about South Asia, then from Limassol in Cyprus about the events in the Middle East, especially about the war in Lebanon.

Since his retirement in 1992, Ross lived on Lake Garda.

Ross was considered a “highly educated and (with his novels and reportage books) literary master” of the younger generation of journalists at the FAZ.
