Old Surehand - Book 2
Dear Karl May Friends

Note to authenticity of Karl May's texts:
My English-language Karl May books are created from the last published versions that were authorized by Karl May, as available from the public domain. They are authentic, sentence by sentence; and their introductions contain the results of fresh research conducted during the translation process.

My English renditions of Karl May's texts are edited and proofed to the usage and style of international English (with Australian flavour on occasions, since I live in Australia, and just a wee hint of German accent), with particular attention to anachronisms, as well as period-correct flow of dialogue. They incorporate, within the translations, explanatory notes for terms that are specific to culture, era, and technology. Original errors (text-technical or factual) have been corrected, as they should have been by May's own editors. I do not see the point in inventing an error in English for the sole purpose of capturing an error made more than 100 years ago in another language. I do not support stultifying word-for-word translation mirroring German syntax, and have endeavoured to present an inspired narration that, hopefully, presents May's lively and often profound tales in their true spirit.

WINNETOU's hour of mourning was past. Before, and during the burial of the father and sister who were so dear to him he gave himself up to the pain of their loss but that over he was no longer the son and brother, but the leader of his warriors, the avenger of their murder, and turned all his attention to the expected coming of the Kiowas. He was ready with a plan, and as soon as the last stone was placed over his dead he bade the Apaches bring the horses. ... Read more

a great textbook
As the prior reviewer says this is "Spaghetti Western 101."It would be a good text for a film class focusing on the genre.It reviews the history of the western in Italy, the pertinent biographical information on the most prominent artists, and gives an overview of the artistic and thematic concerns of the films.It's great for its analysis of Sergio Leone's work, and analysis of his ouevre in comparison to the westerns that had come before and those that would follow.It's limited number of color pictures, and its scholarly focus seem to make it less than ideal as a reference for the casual fan.

Spaghetti Western 101 - A "Must Have" for genre aficionados
I have very incidentally came across to this book when there was no internet, or any of these technological virtual capabilities. It was the spring of 1986, when a friend of mine called me up and said "there's something I saw in the bookshop at the film theatre, which is just for you.You must not miss it". It was the Istanbul Film Festival days, and the `thing' I must not miss was a book, called `Spaghetti Westerns - Cowboys and Europeans from Karl May to Sergio Leone' by Christopher Frayling.I went and saw the book on the shelf.I was stunned when I turned the cover page to see what's inside.There it was a two page wide picture of Lee Van Cleef, in `Colonel Mortimer' costumes.That famous artistic Van Cleef pose, looking out deadly with his Angel Eyes, waiting for Indio for `La Resa Dei Conti'.As soon as I saw that picture, even without reading the book, I said to myself this guy must have the same feelings as I have towards Leone's movies.Eversince then I have been reading that huge 284 pages book with full of interesting details and analysis.Every time I read it, I feel as if I am learning new things.I still refer that book quite often. He has also done television documentaries on Leone and Morricone for BBC.Christopher Frayling is very well known academician in the UK.He is the rector and the provost of famous Royal College of Art in London.I personally had the chance to meet with him, and had in-depth interviews on Sergio Leone..There's no doubt that he is one of the most knowledgable people on Leone. He has also just finished a bulky book on Sergio Leone's biography.He is planning the release around the fall of 98.He has years of deep experience about the Spaghetti Western genre.This book is the second edition to the first one, and a "must have" for all spaghetti western genre with lots of interesting details, profound analysis, and stills.I believe that it satisfies both theoratical scholars as well as film buffs.It is a book that sc! ientifically, and emotionally justifies the quality of Spaghetti Western film genre, which has been humilitated and overlooked by many film critics as ersatz film genre.Get the book, read it, read it once more, and then evaluate the genre afterwards.A lot of vista is waiting for those who hadn't read it yet.The book also contains details on the cut scenes of Leone's westerns, as well as their box office revenues.The section I must enjoy is the one on the influence of Spaghetti Westerns on American Western films.And, a last recommendation is: reserve one of the best spots of your library, which can be easily accessable for your future references.Get this book quickly, and wait for the soon-to-be-published "la grande finale":"SOMETHING TO DO WITH DEATH - The Life and Films of Sergio Leone"

Product Description
Während Karl Mays dreibändiger Roman Satan und Ischariot bei den Lesern ähnlich beliebt ist wie seine Trilogien Winnetou und Old Surehand, gilt er in der Forschung als sehr umstritten und wurde bisher nur selten gerecht gewürdigt. Auch die vorliegende Aufsatzsammlung spiegelt ein uneinheitliches Meinungsbild, vor allem aber zeigt sie, daß Satan und Ischariot bei allen formalen Schwächen doch auch zugleich die vielleicht interessanteste der Abenteuererzählungen Mays ist. Kaum irgendwo sonst treffen die Extreme seines Erzählens, von der wildbewegten Kolportage bis zum religiösen Erlösungsmythos, so heftig aufeinander wie eben hier, und nirgendwo anders hat May seine Identifikation mit dem Ich-Helden und das von ihm erfundene Genre der Reiseerzählung so weit ins Absurde getrieben wie in diesem Roman, in dem der Autor nicht nur unbekümmert die Schauplätze und Masken zwischen Amerika, sächsischer Heimat und Orient wechselt, sondern sogar den edlen Häuptling der Apatschen nach Dresden und in die nordafrikanische Wüste schickt. ...
