Vinetou - 1. knjiga

Vinetou #1

by Karl May, Jože Dolenc (Translator)

Najbolj popularno delo pisatelja Karla Maya, ki je imelo vpliv s strani Harriet Beecher Stowe, je zgodba o mladem apaškem poglavarju, ki jo pripoveduje njegov bledokoži prijatelj in krvni brat Old Shatterhand. Odvija se na jugozahodu Združenih držav v zadnji četrtini devetnajstega stoletja, ko je indijanski način življenja ogrožen s prvo čezkontinentalno železnico. Vinetou, edini indijanski poglavar, ki bi lahko združil različna rivalska plemena, je umorjen. Njegova tragična smrt napoveduje smrt celotne rase.

Osnovna Mayeva tema v tem delu - kot tudi v drugih delih - je razmerje med agresijo, rasizmom in versko nestrpnostjo.
