About this book

My Life and My Efforts, Volume I is an autobiography by Karl May. The translator's introduction says Rudolf Lebius felt insulted by what Karl May had to say about him in his autobiography. The introduction adds that less than one month after the sale of this book had started, Lebius succeeded in obtaining an injunction against it, and all remaining copies had to be destroyed.

The author writes that art critics do not need to deal with his traveller's tales, because it is not his intention at all to give them an artistic form or even perfection. The author says the tales have to be like the simple, plain arm- and foot-bracelets of the Arabian women, which are meant to be nothing more than silver rings. The author writes that what his opponents assert is, from his point of view, far removed from any kind of a proof.
