Description

"For nearly a century, Karl May, the most-read German author of all time, enflamed the imagination of European audiences with his action-packed "travel" fiction of the American West." "Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this volume continues the exploits of Old Shatterhand, an incomparable German-born frontiersman, his noble Apache blood brother, Chief Winnetou, and their frontier friends. The story is set in the late 1860s in Old Arizona where danger abounds and where survival is show more dependent on having the fastest draw and the sharpest wits. Ruthless villains, Indian tribes on the warpath, and a naive band of German immigrants all figure into this engaging Teutonic saga of the Wild West." "Karl May's beloved novels have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil War American West and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and even comic books."--BOOK JACKET. show less

Gyerekként nagyon szerettem Winnetou-t, de a felnőttként olvasott Az Ezüst-tó kincse elég nagy csalódás volt. Ez a könyv sokkal jobban emlékeztet a Winnetou-ra, akár ott is lehetne egy hosszabb fejezet.

A történet persze egyszerű és a karakterek eléggé egydimenziósak, de kellemes olvasmány, talán csak a kántor volt az egyetlen idegesítő szereplő akinél annak szurkoltam, hogy végre kínzócölöphöz kössék. Nem hiszem, hogy túlzottan érdemes felnőttként elolvasni, de gyerekkoromban biztos nagyon tetszett volna.

"Der Ölprinz ist ein Betrüger, der einen Bankier um sein Geld bringen will. Winnetou und Old Shatterhand kommen dem "Ölschwindel" auf die Spur; ihre Begleiter sind viele berühmte Westmänner: Hobble-Frank, Tante Droll und das lustige "Kleeblatt" Sam Hawkens, Dick Stone und Will Parker." (nach KMV Katalog, 2010)
