Winnetou the Apache Knight [Paperback]

Karl May (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 2004

When he had heard all there was to learn of me he bowed his head, saying: "You are at the beginning of the conflict which I am ending, but you need not fear. You have the good God with you who will never forsake you. It was otherwise with me. I had lost my God when I left home, or rather was driven from it, and instead of the staff of strong faith I took with me the worst companion a man can have--a bad conscience."

This review is from: Winnetou - The Apache Knight (Classic Westerns Series) (Paperback)

I was 15 years old in Hungary when I read the Karl May's stories of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. What a great nostalgic experience it was to read them again, this time in english, over 50 years later.

This review is from: Winnetou the Apache Knight (Paperback)

I read most of Karl May's stories as a child. They were at that time translated into Czech. The stories are everything you could ask for. There is adventure, mystery,etc. You name it and it's in there. Deep down there are also non-assuming messages on how to be a good person. These books shaped my views on bigotry in a way no speech or lesson ever could have.

This review is from: Winnetou - The Apache Knight (Classic Westerns Series) (Kindle Edition)

I grew up reading these adventures. I am tickeled pink that these stories are available on Kindle. I remember having the biggest crush on the Hero Winnetou and imagined that someone like him would really exist and would marry me. Even though I didn't care for adventures and gun slinger stories, butt this one and other stories written by th author have totally captivated my imagination. Karl May's stories are a must have for any library.
