Karl May’s books

By nebula_harmony16

So Karl May seems pretty big in German-speaking Europe. I keep hearing about Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, but I don’t know much beyond that. Has anyone actually read his books? If so, where can I get them in English? The only thing I’ve managed to find so far is that old unofficial translation, “Winnetou the Apache Knight: Jack Hildreth among the Indians.” Also… how hard are May’s books to get through? Is there a certain reading level? Would it be easier for me to read them in German? Edit: Nope, way beyond me.
