Karl May hat die Erzählung "Am Jenseits" (Band 25) nicht fortgeführt. Franz Kandolf übernahm später die schwierige Aufgabe, und es gelang ihm vortrefflich, sich in den Stil des Autors zu finden. In der verbotenen Stadt Mekka laufen die verwickelten Fäden der Handlung zusammen. Mit einem Nachwort des Herausgebers Roland Schmid und einem Beitrag zu "Die Mekka-Bände von Snouck Hurgronje" mit 17 Abbildungen.
Authors
Karl Friedrich May (also Karol May) was one of the best selling German writers of all time, noted mainly for books set in the American Old West, (best known for the characters of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand) and similar books set in the Orient and Middle East. In addition, he wrote stories set in his native Germany, in China and in South America. May also wrote poetry and several plays, as well as composing music; he was proficient with several musical instruments. May's musical version of "Ave Maria" became very well known.
