Karl May (1842-1912), the last great mystic of German literature, remains to this day one of the most widely read authors in his homeland of Germany. He wrote all his works while sitting at home, but for several dozen generations of readers, the images of proud, fearless Indians, so irresistibly played by Gojko Mitic in the film adaptations of K. May's novels, that came from his talented pen have not left them indifferent.

The Collected Works includes not only the writer’s famous novels, but also works translated into Russian for the first time.

The fourth volume includes one of the most famous novels of the “eastern cycle” “Across Wild Kurdistan” (1882).< /p>
