- In Paris.
In the autumn of 1793, the young Surcouf helps a priest, Father Martin, who is besieged by soldiers in Le Beausset , and meets Bonaparte . He did not give him the warship he had requested, and so Surcouf himself kidnapped a British ship called "The hen" from the occupied Toulon and renamed it "Le faucon".
Many years later he is a pirate captain in the Indian Ocean, feared and hunted by the English . He fights against the Irishman Schooter, the captain of the cutter "Eagle", and again saves the priest from back then.
When he returned to France , he received satisfaction from Bonaparte, but turned down the offer to take over command.
According to prophetic words to Bonaparte, the two go their separate ways.

content
The poet Richard Forster and the hunter Tim Summerland meet in the Llano estakado . The latter saves the poet's life with a drink of water. Happily escaped, they meet Stakemen on the edge of the desert. After a fight, Summerland has his stolen property back and the head villain is marked by a tomahawk strike.
When the villain later sneaks into the wealthy banker Olbers and his daughter Marga under the false name Tom Wilson in Stenton, he is exposed by Forster and has to change his evil plan. The attacks on Summerland and Forster failed, but the villain managed to flee with $ 50,000.
Summerland and Forster know his plans and follow him to Mexico. You can uncover other old crimes there and prevent a new one from being committed against Count Hernando. Wilson is arrested, he will oversee the process done, and he is executed.
The heroes receive a rich gift from Count Hernando and return to Stenton, where Forster becomes engaged to Marga Olbers.
May's edits
For the book version Ein Pfahlmann , Karl May changed the content of his text Ein Dichter only slightly: At the beginning the roles of the lifesaver and the rescued were reversed. The escape and imprisonment on the island were omitted: the villain finds his punishment sooner. The harmless erotic scenes have been defused a bit.
The Liberation / The Rose of Sokna
The history of the Orient, A Liberation , first appeared in 1894 as the third section of the volume Die Rose von Kaïrwan and was already heavily edited by Karl May himself, using the subject and staff of the early story The Rose of Sokna and expanding it to almost four times the size.
content
Rose von Sokna : On his return to Mursuk after an excursion into the desert, the European first-person narrator learns that the daughter of his host Manasseh Ben Aharab has been stolen. The leader of the Gum, Kofla-Aga, demands ten bags of gold for the girl's release. With the help of his Arab servant Ali, the first-person narrator succeeds in penetrating the robbers' lair, capturing Kofla-Aga and bringing Rahel back to her father in Mursuk.
Liberation : We meet the son of the poet Richard Forster (who is mentioned in the Pfahlmann ) in Von Mursuk bis Kaïrwan as the orientalist Forster, who wins the loving heart of the beautiful Christian girl Rahel, who was raised by the Jew Manasseh ben Aharab as a foster father has been. Forster and a friend heroically save her from the clutches of Muslim fanatics.
May's extensions to the Rose of Sokna narrative mainly concern the Jew Manasseh ben Aharab. He is a wealthy Jewish merchant in Mursuk . He is a widower and Rahel's foster father. He is very proud and lives extremely withdrawn. Manasse is host to Kara Ben Nemsis . He rejects Tahaf's and Forster's advertisement for Rahel. He is fatally wounded by a messenger from Tahaf who has kidnapped Rachel. As he dies he confesses that Rahel was entrusted as a child by a dying French sailor, but because of her property he kept and raised her as a child of her own; he destroyed their papers.
Book editions
In the Collected Works , the text can be found under the title From Mursuk to Kairwan in Volume 38 Half Blood .
Current editions can be found in the book database of the Freundeskreis Karl May Leipzig .
Text history
The rose of Kaïrwan was probably published as a 352-page linen volume as early as the end of November 1893, even if the year 1894 is stated in the book. Several types of binding in differently colored linen as well as two different text versions are documented. These differ in terms of corrections, for example from turning letters or broken letters. It is not certain whether the volume was reprinted.
For the collected works of the Karl-May-Verlag (KMV) the three stories were torn apart after the author's death. The Surcouf story moved in 1916 under the title Der Kaperkapitän in volume 38 ( half-blood ), the 2nd division was in the same volume. A liberation was included in volume 19 ( Captain Kaiman ) in 1921 , where it was given the title From Mursuk to Kaïrwan .
The three stories have now been reunited in Volume 38 , which was redesigned in 1997 .
