    Winnetou III: In der ungekürzten Originalfassung
    • In the third volume of the Winnetou series, the author Karl May drew on stories that had previously appeared in the magazine "Deutscher Hausschatz." Some chapters of Winnetou III were rewritten by May, creating a framework that integrates the pursuit of the criminal and murderer Santer into a cohesive narrative across all three volumes.

      Njemački pisac Karl May (1842-1912) prodao je više od 100 milijuna knjiga u Njemačkoj i još toliko u prijevodima na 33 jezika, što ukupno čini više od 200 milijuna. Njegov opus uključuje 28 naslova "putopisnih priča" smještenih u američki Divlji zapad, uz dodatnih desetak o Orijentu, kao i pjesme i memoare. Ipak, najtrajniju pažnju čitatelja stekli su likovi apaškog poglavice Winnetoua i njegovog prijatelja Old Shatterhanda. Antun Šoljan je 1966. zabilježio da je Karl May jedan od konstantnih bestselera na našem jeziku, već više od trideset godina. Naglasio je da, ako je trajnost mjerilo vrijednosti, a popularnost zanimljivosti, May uz Zagorku predstavlja idealnu sliku pučkog pisca. Branimir Donat je dodao da Mayeve knjige ne samo da ispunjavaju prostor za sanjarije, već kompenziraju moralnu glad i otkrivaju prostor bajke kao izvor književnosti. Popularnost Mayevih romana, posebno "Winnetoua", u Hrvatskoj dodatno je potaknuta s 11 igranih filmova snimljenih 60-ih godina prošlog stoljeća na hrvatskim lokacijama, u koprodukciji Zapadne Njemačke i tadašnje Jugoslavije.

      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.
