Karl Friedrich May ( /ˈmaɪ/ MY; 25 February 1842 – 30 March 1912) was a popular German writer, noted mainly for adventure novels set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East (with Kara Ben Nemsi and Hadschi Halef Omar). In addition, he wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America. May also has written poetry and a play, and composed music; he also was proficient player of several musical instruments. Many of his works were filmed, adapted for the stage, turned into audio dramas or into comics. A highly imaginative and fanciful writer, May never visited the exotic places featured in his stories until late in life, when the clash between fiction and reality led to a complete change in his work.
Asteroid 348 May is named in his honor.[citation needed]
Karl May was born into a family of poor weavers in Ernstthal, Schönburgische Rezessherrschaften (later part of the Kingdom of Saxony). He was the fifth child out of fourteen, nine of whom died within a few months of their birth. According to his autobiography, he suffered from visual impairment shortly after birth and regained his eyesight after treatment at the age of five. Possibly a lack of vitamin A led to night blindness, which then grew worse.

Plot: Abahachi, Chief of the Apache Indians, and his blood brother Ranger maintain peace and justice in the Wild West. One day, Abahachi needs to take up a credit from the Shoshone Indians to finance his tribe's new saloon. Unfortunately Santa Maria, who sold the saloon, betrays Abahachi, takes the money and leaves. Soon, the Shoshones are on the warpath to get their money back, and Abahachi is forced to organize it quickly. Luckily, he, his twin brother Winnetouch, beautiful dancer Uschi and the Greek Dimitri each own a quarter of a treasure map that leads them to 'the shoe of Manitu'. There, Santa Maria already awaits them to take their new treasure away as well. But he did not think about the determination of Abahachi's team.

Genres: ,Wir wollen so gern ne Szene-Band sein
Wir wollen, dass uns alle lieben
Bis jetzt fiel uns nur Unsinn ein
Jetzt ham wir ganz was tolles geschrieben
So ein No-Future-Rucki-Zucki
Der jedem gut gefällt
Was jeder weiß und jeder glaubt
Wird gleich noch mal erzählt
Wir zeigen astreine Betroffenheit
Die jedem Müsli frommt
Wir haben nen schnellen Viervierteltakt
Der Punkern gut bekommt
Aufstehen ! Hinsetzen ! Jetzt oder nie !
Das 150 Mal im Jahr gibt durchtrainierte Knie !
(Chorus:)
Wir sind alle einer Meinung - ist das nicht toll !
Wir sind alle einer Meinung - jawoll !
Hier ist gut und da ist böse, fast wie bei Karl May
Und wir haben auch unsere nagelneue,
zwanzig Mark teure LP dabei !
Für jeden Sticker auf eurem Auto
Liefern wir das passende Lied
Mit Ringelreihn gegen Ronald Reagan
Das wird bestimmt ein Hit
Ob KWU oder FAG, wir gehen richtig ran
Wer hat noch nicht davon geträumt
Dass man beim Wort zum Sonntag tanzen kann
Und wir haben auch unsere nagelneue,
zwanzig Mark teure LP dabei !
