Door het land der Skipetaren (Through the Land of the Skipetars) is a Dutch-language translation of a novel by Karl May, the immensely popular German adventure writer whose books sold over two hundred million copies worldwide. May’s novels — most famously the Winnetou and Old Shatterhand western series — transported readers to exotic locales across the Middle East, the American West, and the Balkans with vivid, propulsive storytelling.
The Skipetars are Albanian mountain people, and this novel carries May’s characteristic mix of travelogue, adventure, and romantic heroism into the Ottoman Balkans. Download this free public-domain EPUB to enjoy Karl May’s adventure fiction in Dutch translation.
