The collected works "On the Other Side" by Karl May take readers on an exciting journey through the Arabian desert. The protagonists Kara Ben Nemsi and Hadji Halef Omar encounter a mysterious blind seer, the Münedschi, who has been abandoned by his treacherous companion El Ghani. On their way to Mecca, it quickly becomes clear that El Ghani is not only a traitor but has also stolen the treasure of the holy sites of Meschhed Ali. Together with the treasure guardian Khutab Aga, the friends embark on a dangerous hunt for the robber, who does not shy away from murder. This work marks a significant transition in May's oeuvre, moving from romantic adventure tales to deeper themes expressed in impressive visions of the Last Judgment.
