Monath completed his studies in the field of structural engineering as a graduate engineer and has been working in project management ever since.[1] His childhood enthusiasm for sailing ships led to his first work "Versailles der Meere", published in 2016 by Frank & Timme, Berlin. The book describes the historical, art-historical and technical aspects of sailing ships in the 17th century baroque era at the court of Louis XIV.[2][3] It is part of numerous academic libraries, such as the Princeton University Library, the Bibliothèque Interuniversitaire de la Sorbonne, or the Library of Congress.[4]
His subsequent works can be classified as fiction. "Katzen sind auch nur Menschen" is a humorous, autobiographical novel about living with cats. "BORDIOC", "Der Felsengarten von Utgard" and "WANDERKRÖTEN" are thrillers and novels with scientific background.[5][6]
