Winnetou (Unabridged 2008 Translation of Winnetou I)

Editura: Preposterous Press

Anul aparitiei: 2008

Fresh off the boat from Europe and looking for adventure, a young German named Charlie heads west. He finds plenty of excitement on the untamed American frontier. Whether it is an encounter with a grizzly, a hostile Indian, or a dishonest white man, he always manages to emerge victorious. He gets out of one dangerous situation after another, thanks to his quick wits, his skill with a gun, and his remarkable strength (which earns him the nickname "Old Shatterhand"). Along the way, he makes friends with an equally remarkable young Indian, Winnetou. Together, they embark on adventures throughout the West. This classic adventure story of the American west, along with a host of other books and stories by Karl May, shaped the perception of the frontier for generations of readers. May's books became the all-time best-sellers in Germany and were translated into many languages, but good English translations have been difficult to find-until now.

Winnetou

Editura: Washington State University

Anul aparitiei: 1999

Karl May's German-language novel of the American West has been a perennial favorite in Europe since its release in 1892. The story of the German-born frontiersman Old Shatterhand and his Apache companion Winnetou in the western plains and mountains has been reprinted innumerable times, made into films and plays, and has inspired musical compositions. Today in Germany, Old West enthusiasts by the tens of thousands attend outdoor "Karl May" festivals each summer. Yet, despite Karl May's immense popularity in Europe, this prolific author of adventure fiction is virtually unknown in the United States and Canada.May's writing has shaped a European vision of the post-Civil War American West--one uniquely Teutonized by his prolific pen. Interestingly enough, May did not visit the United States until late in life, in 1908--long after his most popular western stories were published.In the WSU Press edition, David Koblick's excellent translation and abridgment puts the best known novel by Karl May into the hands of an English speaking audience. In addition, an introduction by Koblick and an insightful foreword by Richard H. Cracroft of Brigham Young University provide cultural and historical ...

Winnetou

Editura: CONTINUUM

Anul aparitiei: 2006

Karl May's most popular work originally published in 1892 and influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Winnetou is the story of a young Apache chief told by his white friend and blood-brother Old Shatterhand. The action takes place in the U.S. Southwest, in the latter half of the 1800s, where the Indian way of life is threatened by the first transcontinental railroad. Winnetou, the only Native Indian chief who could have united the various rival tribes to reach a settlement with the whites, is murdered. His tragic death foreshadows the death of his people. May's central theme here, as in much of his work, is the relationship between aggression, racism, and religious intolerance.

The Oil Prince

Editura: WASHINGTON STATE UNIV PR

Anul aparitiei: 2003

Karl May's works have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil war American West. Rarely out of print since the late 1890s, his beloved novels are a true phenomenon in Europe and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and comic books. Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this action-packed "travel" tale 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. In The Oil Prince May created another multicultural adventure full of excitement, villainy, and courage--sprinkled throughout with a Germanic twinkle of comic relief. This Teutonic take on the Wild West features May's revered hero, Old Shatterhand, his Apache blood brother Chief Winnetou, ruthless bandits, Indian tribes on the warpath, a naive band of German immigrants, and a dangerous crook ("the Oil Prince") who intends to con a fortune from a gullible banker. It was first published as a book in the German language in 1897 and is a companion piece to Winnetou, translated by David Koblick and published by the WSU Press in 1999.Selected as a Best of the Best from the University Presses by the American Association of School ...

Karl Friedrich May (1842-1912) was one of the best selling German writers of all time, noted mainly for books set in the American Old West and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East; in addition, he also wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America. He also wrote poetry, and several plays. He composed music, being proficient with several musical instruments. Maya€(TM)s musical version of Ave Maria became very well known. He used many different pseudonyms, including Capitan Ramon Diaz de la Escosura, M. Gisela, Hobble-Frank, Karl Hohenthal, D. Jam, Prinz Muhamel LautrA(c)amont, Ernst von Linden, P. van der Luwen, Franz Langer, and Emma Pollmer. For the novels set in America, he described the characters of Winnetou, the wise chief of the Apache Tribe, and Old Shatterhand. Non-dogmatic Christian feelings and values play an important role, and Maya€(TM)s heroes are often described as being of German ancestry. In addition, following the Romantic ideal of the a€œnoble savagea€ his Native Americans are generally portrayed as innocent victims of white law-breakers, and many are presented as heroic characters.

Himmelsgedanken. Gedichte Von Karl May

Editura: BOOKS ON DEMAND

Anul aparitiei: 2005

Karl May, der als Abenteuer- und Jugendschriftsteller bekannte Sch pfer des "Winnetou," unternahm 1899/1900 eine 15-monatige Reise in den Orient, die ihn bis nach Sumatra f hrte. Unter dem Eindruck der orientalischen Welt, die er bis dahin nur aus B chern gekannt hatte, verfasste er religi 's gepr gte Gedichte und Aphorismen, die er in einem Band "Himmelsgedanken" ver ffentlichte. Dieser erscheint nun als Reprint der ersten Ausgabe von 1900. Er dokumentiert das Streben eines Mannes, der mehr sein wollte als ein Unterhaltungsschriftsteller, und er zeigt Karl Mays tief empfundene Religiosit t, wie sie so in der heutigen Zeit immer weniger zu finden ist.Karl May: Im Alter.Ich bin so m d, so herbstesschwerUnd m cht am liebsten scheiden gehn.Die Bl tter fallen rings umher;Wie lange, Herr, soll ich noch stehn?Ich bin nur ein bescheiden Gras, Doch eine Aehre trag auch ich, Und ob die Sonne mich verga, Ich wuchs in Dankbarkeit f r dich.Ich bin so m d, so herbstesschwerUnd m cht am liebsten scheiden gehn, Doch, brauche ich der Reife mehr, So la mich, Herr, noch l nger stehn.Ich will, wenn sich der Schnitter nahtUnd sammelt Menschengarben ein, Nicht unreif zu der WeitersaatF r dich und ...

Die Eisenbahngesellschaft "Great Western Railroad" schickt Old Shatterhand aus Deutschland in den Wilden Westen, um dort zu verhindern, dass die Linie entgegen der Vereinbarungen mit den Indianern mitten durch das Gebiet der Apachen gebaut wird. Der Bauleiter Bill Jones hat diese Bauplanänderung auf Betreiben des Ganoven Santer vorgenommen, da sie durch die nun kürzere Strecke einiges an Baukosten sparen und das Geld in die eigene Tasche stecken wollen. Allerdings wollen Santer und seine Leute noch mehr: Sie wollen das Gold der Apachen und haben dafür die Kiowas als Verbündete gewonnen. Doch schon im ersten Gefecht schlägt Old Shatterhand - wie ihn der allgegenwärtige Sam Hawkins tauft - die Kiowas in die Flucht. Daraufhin greift Santer mit seinen Leuten die Apachen an, die ihr Gebiet verteidigen wollen. Im Kampf fällt Klekih-petra, der gro e wei e Lehrmeister der Apachen. Für Winnetou, den Sohn des Apachen-Häuptlings Intschu-tschuna ist das Kampfansage genug: Er lässt Old Shatterhand und seine Freunde gefangen nehmen und an den Marterpfahl binden. Bevor er getötet werden soll, will Winnetou jedoch ein Gottesurteil herbeiführen: Wenn Shatterhand es schafft, mit einem ...

Der Scout

Editura: BOD

Anul aparitiei: 2009

Die spannende Erzählung "Der Scout" von Karl May schildert den Kampf des Ich-Erzählers (Old Shatterhand) und des Westmannes Old Death gegen den Ku-Klux-Klan. Siegfried Augustin schreibt: "Ich habe selten ein so eindrucksvolles Buch gelesen. Die Figur des Old Death, des "Alten Todes", seine inneren Seelenkämpfe (die eindrucksvoll mit den Bergen und Tälern der Bolson de Mapimi, einer Landschaft in Mexiko verglichen und beschrieben werden), machen das Buch zu einem einmaligen Erlebnis.... Auch die Indianerkämpfe, die realistisch gezeichnet werden und - was für May selten ist - ohne Versöhnung beendet werden, sind plastisch dargestellt und in der Tat ein 'erzählerisches Glanzstück', wie Heinz Stolte, der erste Karl-May-Biograph in seiner Studie: 'Der Volksschriftsteller Karl-May"'bereits 1936 korrekt bilanzierte. Insbesondere die Schuld- und Sühne-Thematik um den Westmann Old Death (für mich neben Old Wabble in Old Surehand die eindrucksvollste Figur Karl Mays überhaupt) hat mich tief beeindruckt und nicht mehr losgelassen."
