Robert, an intellectual property attorney and patent agent, unfolds Karl May's rise from fraud to bestselling creator of Winnetou and Old Shatterhand. They explore why 19th-century Germans craved New World tales. The conversation traces May's fabricated travels, blood-brother rituals, vast cultural reach, ties to political movements, and modern debates over European 'Indianer' hobbyist appropriation.
