Enis Maci und Mazlum Nergiz »Karl May«

An event from the series "Literatur zur Zeit". Moderator: Wolfgang Frömberg

Karl May - petty criminal, con man, Germany's most successful writer. Millions grew up with Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. But not Enis Maci and Mazlum Nergiz. In this volume, they get to the bottom of the matter: What is it about lying and surviving? What separates the fake from its role model? And when will the highway from wild Kurdistan to the land of the Skipetars finally be built?

Including: an author who thinks he is the hero of his own novels. Mountains that are in Saxony but mean Utah. And a never-ending stream of distorted images of the foreign.

"Karl May" zooms in on landscapes that could not be more beautiful. All show, all true.
