Erewhon, or Over The Range
￥9.00
Erewhon: or, Over the Range is a novel by Samuel Butler which was first published anonymously in 1872. The title is also the name of a country, supposedly discovered by the protagonist. In the novel, it is not revealed where Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be understood as the word "nowhere" backwards even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed. The book is a satire on Victorian society. The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for about four years (1860–64), and explored parts of the interior of the South Island and which he wrote about in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).

But still not certain which is truer, he sets out to determine whether the waking ideas of man are superior to his dreams.

Winnetou 4
￥9.00
Der Schriftsteller Karl May erh?lt in Radebeul Post aus Amerika und bricht daraufhin mit seiner Frau, dem Herzle, zu seiner letzten Reise dorthin auf. Seinem Blutsbruder Winnetou soll ein Denkmal gesetzt werden. Karl May / Old Shatterhand trifft alte Bekannte, deren Nachwuchs und zahlreiche symbolreiche Handlungstr?ger und kann den Bau des Monumentaldenkmals gerade noch abwenden. Der Band kommt in Gestalt der alten Reiseberichte daher, aber doch ist vieles anders geworden. Die Gewehre hat Old Shatterhand zwar immer noch (oder wieder) dabei, sie werden aber nicht mehr gebraucht und sind auch deshalb fast die ganze Zeit im Gep?ck. Nicht mehr mit der "Schmetterhand" werden die "Feinde" besiegt, sondern h?chstens noch durch List und die Gewalt des Wortes. Ganz im Friedensgedanken seiner Sp?twerke werden am Ende alle "Feindschaften" mit den alten Widersachern des Westens in Freundschaft aufgel?st. Sogar die zum Hauptschurken Santer stellvertretend mit dessen S?hnen.
