| Karl May (1842-1912) is the most-read
German author of all time. With a unique sense of humor, he brought to
life endearing characters that have captured hearts for more than a century.
Both idealistic and romantic, his novels were originally known as ‘travel
tales’, and have shaped the view of the post-Civil War American West for
generations of Germans. They have been adapted for stage, movies, and even
comic books.
Rarely out of print since it was first published as a book in the German language in 1897, The Oil Prince is a companion piece to Winnetou, translated by David Koblick. |
