Habe das schöne Buch erhalten. Der erste (äußere) Eindruck ist sehr vielversprechend. Die Autorin scheint sich viel Mühe mit den 662 Seiten gemacht zu haben. Erste Leseeindrücke bestätigen das. Mehr später.

Aber im Jubiläumsjahr reiten somit Winnetou, Old Firehand und Old Shatterhand auch international an den Silbersee.
