The Oil Prince
For nearly a century, Karl May, the most-read German author of all time, ignited the imagination of European audiences with his action-packed "travel" fiction of the American West. Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this volume continues the exploits of Old Shatterhand, an incomparable German-born frontiersman, his noble Apache blood brother, Chief Winnetou, and their frontier friends. The story is set in the late 1860s in Old Arizona where danger abounds and survival is dependent on having the fastest draw and the sharpest wits. Ruthless villains, Indian tribes on the warpath, and a naive band of German immigrants all figure into this engaging Teutonic saga of the Wild West. Karl May's beloved novels have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil War American West and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and even comic books.

Karl May als Pädagoge
Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Allgemein, Note: gut, Universität Karlsruhe (TH) (Fakultät für Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Karl May ist Umfragen zufolge einer der bekanntesten, aber auch gleichzeitig der umstrittenste Schriftsteller Deutschlands. Schon zu Lebzeiten sah er sich einer beispiellosen, unbarmherzigen Hetze gegen seine Person einschließlich seiner Werke ausgesetzt, die dann in der Berufungsverhandlung von Berlin-Moabit am 18. Dezember 1911 gipfelte, in der der gefährlichste seiner Gegner, der Journalist und Herausgeber diverser zeitkritischer Lektüre, Rudolf Lebius, endgültig zum Schweigen gebracht werden konn...
Winnetou, the Apache Knight
When he had heard all there was to learn of me he bowed his head, saying: "You are at the beginning of the conflict which I am ending, but you need not fear. You have the good God with you who will never forsake you. It was otherwise with me. I had lost my God when I left home, or rather was driven from it, and instead of the staff of strong faith I took with me the worst companion a man can have--a bad conscience."
Winnetou's Heirs
The aged Karl May and his wife receive invitations from Indian friends and foes in America, to participate in the decision making on a monument to Winnetou. May steps into Old Shatterhand's shoes one last time, and when they arrive at the Indians' gravesites, Old Shatterhand excavates Winnetou's long-lost legacy. In the meantime two opposing groups of Indians are gathering at the proposed location of the monument. Covertly, a large group of enemy warriors approaches through an extensive cave complex to attack, but natural events intervene. A geological catastrophe provides for an unexpected turn of events.
Winnetou
More copies of this German tale of the American West have been printed than any other novel in German publishing history. This lively English translation of the daring adventures of Old Shatterhand and the Apache Chief Winnetou puts the best-known work by Karl May (1842-1912) into the hands of an American audience for the first time in paperback.
