We specialize in publishing the English translations of Karl May  who is Germany’s most published author. His world famous “Traveler’s Tales” have excited young and old for more than a century. Here, for the first time, is an ever growing collection of his writings, translated into English by Karl May enthusiasts.

Our mission is to bring the enduring message of peace, tolerance and harmony, championed in Karl May’s original manuscripts, to the English speaking world.

But we do not restrict ourselves to purely Karl May’s work. We also publish other works of humanitarian interest.

Hence if you have written a book, what comes next? Obviously you would like to see it published.
But who will publish it for you?
There are many publishers, but few will take a risk with a first time author.
Our Publishing Company has a number of solutions for you here.

Dear Sirs;

We are contacting all the school districts across the country to assess the degree of interest in our providing a useful service to the schools in areas of literacy and language arts with our audio and eBooks. We hope you will respond.

Expression of Interest

Worldwide Sunshine Records

Audio Book Delivery System Survey

July 2010

Worldwide Sunshine Records is currently exploring the possibility of making its growing catalogue of audio books available to schools across the country including, and especially in remote areas, possibly by video
or telebroadcasting via the Internet.

This is a relatively new venture for us, and given the reception our storyteller Victor Epp has received for his narration, we thought it well worthwhile to explore the possibility of sharing it with your students.

With the spiraling cost of books along with shrinking library budgets it is important to design a system that is both cost effective AND that works for your schools. We would appreciate an acknowledgement of your interest in exploring such a program with us.

Our library is relatively small at the moment, but growing. The selection can be viewed at
http://www.nemsi-books.com/PubCompany/?page_id=259 along with voice clips.

Please forward to your reply to ness@worldwidesunshine.com

Respectfully,

Ness Michaels, president

What is Life for?
We learn to crawl before we walk,
Walk before we run,
Run before we fly,
And live before we die.

In the early hours of Monday, 7th June 2010, this year’s Sundance attendants erected the first teepee. Others soon followed it and the little camp grew rapidly.

At the same time, an arbor was erected, a fire-pit was dug and an inipi (sweat lodge) was constructed in the traditional manner of the Lakota people.

Tuesday was ‘tree day’ – bushy pine trees were cut and placed around the arbor frame, leaving the eastern gate open so that the rays of the rising sun could enter unhindered. Finally, the tree of life, a tall birch with a single fork was selected by the elders and ceremoniously cut down. Many willing hands caught the tree as it came down and carried it to the trailer on which it would be transported to the Sundance grounds.

Once the tree arrived there, those same willing hands raised it in an effort that surpassed the flag raising on Iwo Jima.

The dancers settled into their teepee and the fire, which would burn for the duration of the ceremony, was lit.

In the morning, before the sun rose, the dancers entered the inipi, cleansed their bodies and prepared to dance to the sound of a drum and the traditional songs. Solemnly they entered the arbor through the eastern gate and began their dance that would not cease until the sun had traversed the sky and touched the western horizon. They finished the day with another ceremonial cleansing and then retired for the night, denying themselves food and water.

This was repeated for the following two days, culminating on the fourth day with their final sacrifice.

The Indian children at St. Labre smile and wave, but never really ask for much. If you get a chance to visit with them, their enthusiasm can be contagious.

It’s hard to believe that innocent Native American children like these often face such uncertain futures. Many of them are being raised by a grandparent, an aunt or uncle sometime even by an older sibling.

Some have no home at all. That’s why our recent contribution meant so much to them.

Seeing their joy is our reward.

The Winnetou Trademark has been approved for registration on the 21st April 2010 with a statement of use that employed the products of Universum Film. The new owner Ms Sabine Niederberghaus-Lesavoy claims herself to be a German citizen and the official Karl May Verlag representative.

Now is the time for all Karl May fans to bond together and oppose this affront to the noble Apache Chief.

The time for litegation has finally come ….

The narratives Der Scout (The Scout), together with Deadly Dust are, in some sense, forerunners of the later Winnetou novels. This volume presents the translation named, The Scout. Karl May saw his narrative Der Scout published in the magazine ‘Deutscher Hausschatz’ (German Home Treasures) in 1888/89. Between 1881 and 1889, Karl May had successfully produced his Oriental Odyssey, following which he proceeded to accomplish the same for the Wild West of his imagination. In so doing, he incorporated some aspects of The Scout in Volume II of his Winnetou Series.

May’s Scout, a first-person narrative, plays before a historical background, shortly after the American Civil War and the battle for power between the forces of Juarez and Maximilian, supported by the French, in Mexico, in the years 1865/66. He, furthermore, uses the opportunity to insert and express his beliefs about the then recently founded Ku-Klux-Klan.

The Scout certainly holds a special position in May’s Wild West stories in that the first-person narrator is still a novice to the trials and tribulations encountered. Although the young man is capable, he is still encumbered by the trappings of civilization, and has difficulties dealing with his new environment. Still a greenhorn, aptly described here, he is familiarized with the rules of the West by the story’s other protagonist, his mentor, the Scout, going by the frontiersman’s name of Old Death.

In this narrative, the storyteller is still far removed from the later, always competent and experienced frontiersman, but is described as a fallible human being with a long way to go to become the Old Shatterhand of the Winnetou Series and other Wild West novels of May’s. However, he also meets and defeats Winnetou in this story and is befriended by the Apache chief, who, in this early epic, is vengeful and is yet to become the noble human being of May’s later writings.

The Scout is thought to be one of Karl Mays best travel stories, into which the author wove, as it appears, some of his early personal experiences from his incarceration, which find expression in the poem ‘The Night Most Terrible,’ and remarks of Old Death about his misdeeds.

So, if you have read the Winnetou Series, go back in time to meet the, not-yet-so-named, ‘Old Shatterhand’ when he was still a greenhorn. Enjoy!
