Winnetou and the (Mescalero) Apaches

More about the book

The project explores the accuracy and truthfulness of Karl May's writings, particularly his "Wild West" novels, which the author enjoyed in their youth. Despite May never having visited the American West, the investigation is rooted in a personal journey to Arizona, a state featured in his stories. This research delves into the cultural and historical representations in May's works, offering insights into the interplay between fiction and reality, and how an author's imagination shapes perceptions of a place.
