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.
