Illustrierte Klassiker #213

From the long tradition of Illustrierte Klassiker — "Die spannendsten Geschichten der Weltliteratur" — issue #213 brings Cabeza de Vaca's remarkable account to life as "Abenteuer im Inneren Nord-Amerikas" (Adventures in the Interior of North America). The cover drops you straight into a clash between armored Spanish conquistadors — some on foot, one mounted and raising a fist — and indigenous warriors armed with bows and spears, set against a lush, palm-fringed landscape. It's a vivid, kinetic scene that captures the tension and drama at the heart of this 2013 German-language adaptation of one of history's most extraordinary exploration narratives.
