evaluation
“Anton Kaiser tried - as early as the 1920s - to portray and interpret Karl May's life in the form of a drama [a small passage from it in the Karl May Yearbook 1932], somewhat mystically trimmed and not without bizarre elements . The picture panels bring pictures of May's biography as well as three illustrations by Sascha Schneider of Karl May. "
