Gekürzte Fassung von Winnetou I-III in englischer Sprache. Erschienen bei The Continuum Publishing Company, New York. Immer wieder nachgefragt - jetzt endlich in einer neuen Ausgabe: Winnetous und Old Shatterhands Abenteuer in englischer Sprache! Karl May's most popular work, Winnetou is the story of a young Apache chief told by his white friend and bloodbrother Old Shatterhand. The action takes place about a century ago in the American Southwest, where the Indian way of life is threatened by the construction of the first transcontinental railroad. Winnetou, the only Native American chief who could have united the various quarreling tribes and reached an equitable settlement with the whites is murdered by some gold-seeking thugs. His tragic death foreshadows the death of his people. Winnetou is not an historical Apache Indian, but rather a symbol of "natural human innocence".
