"Karl May: The Wild West Made in Germany."
Thursday, March 08, 2018, 07:00pm |
Historian Heribert von Feilitzsch, who grew up in Germany, will talk about Karl May, a German writer who published dozens of books on the "Wild West" without ever having been there. His main protagonist was Winnetou, the "chief of the Apaches." In a paper published on Karl May in the Journal of Popular Culture 20 some years ago, Mr. Feilitzsch concluded that the reason Hitler really liked May was that his world was black and white, good against evil, white American against natives.
