A review by luthienneart
Winnetou III by Karl May
4.0
Winnetou III is a solid book that is emotionally gripping and intellectually challenging. The story revolves around the themes of friendship, heroism, resistance to unfair power structures and the search for a higher level of moral ideal. But behind the facade of adventure and romance lies a rather complicated confrontation with the colonial ideas of the time.
The end of the book is quite dramatic and tragic. Winnetou dies a heroic death to save others. This is the highlight of the book and sadly shows how the indigenous culture was destroyed by western colonisation.
Nevertheless, there is still a little happy ending at the end. Winnetou and his wisdom remain as a role model in the story. Old Shatterhand carries on this memory and teaches what respect, friendship and justice are.
Winnetou III is still a fascinating book today. Although it is simply written, it provides plenty of food for thought.
4/5 ⭐
