The Romance of Old Shatterhand
Just had an interesting discussion about Old Shatterhand, Old Firehand, and the romance between the young greenhorn (later Old Shatterhand) and Old Firehand's daughter, Helen, on another social channel. A romance between Old Shatterhand and Old Firehand's daughter? http://connect.lulu.com/t5/Shameless-...
Helen is a well-kept secret - a romance that could not be in Winnetou II.
Although Karl May's chronology is just slightly more than messy - as it doesn't really exist - his novels are nevertheless interconnected in one way or another. That's the real romance of Karl May's adventures.

Translating Karl May has become a way of life for me, literally. I grew up with Karl May movies in the cinema, and on Television, and since 2004 have been translating the novels of my favourite author. Some of the works have never been available in English. The pursuit has been a true joy for me; the enjoyment consists in sharing it with others. Karl May is hardly-to-almost-not known among English readers; maybe some of you who discover him for the first time might want to know more about him, as well as the process of translating his writings.
