Description
The legendary characters from Karl May's travel and youth tales - from Winnetou and Old Shatterhand to Sam Hawkens and Nscho-tschi - gathered in one volume. The encyclopaedia of characters is richly illustrated with images from art, literature and pop culture and provides new, unique insights into the Karl May universe. Not only named protagonists and marginal characters are illuminated, but also unnamed figures and their function in the plot.
Karl May's stories are testimonies to the changing world around 1900. The portrayals of characters reflect both traditional Eurocentric ideas and a new conception of global human coexistence. The index of characters therefore not only contributes to the literary treatment of Karl May's stories, but also places them in their social, political and cultural context.
