Reviews

[Torben · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mal wieder schön, Karl May zu lesen. Hier frühe Erzählungen. Umso mehr interessant zu sehen, wie sich Karl Mays Schreibtalent entwickelt hat und wie er zum Meister der Unterhaltungsliteratur wurde. Erzählungen unterschiedlicher Qualität, aber alle mit besonderen Reizen und Ideen. Macht Lust auf die weiteren Bände mit Erzählungen des Karl May Verlags.
