Der Wurzelsepp

Der Weg zum Glück #3

by Karl May

Eine der liebenswertesten Gestalten Karl Mays zeigt in zwei Episoden ihren detektivischen Spürsinn. Der "Geldprotz" ist eine spannende Schmugglergeschichte an der böhmischen Grenze. "Der Samiel", ein skrupelloser Räuber, dessen Identität niemand kennt, findet schließlich im schlauen Sepp seinen Meister.

About the author

Karl Friedrich May (also Karol May) was one of the best selling German writers of all time, noted mainly for books set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East. In addition, he wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America.

May also wrote poetry and several plays, as well as composing music; he was proficient with several musical instruments. May's musical version of "Ave Maria" became very well known.

Reviews

[Andrew Brehm · Rating 3 out of 5]

More liked than disliked it, but it is a weaker May story. I actually read "Der Weg zum Glueck", which is a more complete collection of Wurzelsepp's adventures. But it is really not up to the very high standards of May's previous colportage novels.
