About Karl May
Karl Friedrich May was a German author known for travel writing. His works, often in first-person narratives about travels and adventures, were mostly set in the American Old West or the Orient and Middle East, but also in Latin America, China and within Germany. For a time he insisted that he actually had travelled to the West and was called Old Shatterhand there, while in the Ottoman Empire he was called Kara Ben Nemsi, and posed in costumes.
