About the author

Karl Friedrich May (also Karol May) was one of the best selling German writers of all time, noted mainly for books set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East. In addition, he wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America.

May also wrote poetry and several plays, as well as composing music; he was proficient with several musical instruments. May's musical version of "Ave Maria" became very well known.

[Wolf O'Rourc · Rating 3 out of 5]

Same as Winnetou. I loved the stories as a kid, but I'd forget the beginning of his meandering sentences by the time I reached the end of them. I do remember to this day the incredibly long name of his sidekick Hadschi Halef Omar Ben Hadschi Abul Abbas Ibn Hadschi Dawuhd al Gossarah. Wow, I'm exhausted. What was I talking about? Nevermind, 3 stars for accuracy and language.

Wenn man das Buch mit seinen Ansichten als Parodie liest, dann bietet es auch heute noch spannende Abenteuer.
