Věnceslav Černý: Illustrationen zu Karl Mays Eine deutsche Sultana

Eine deutsche Sultana erschien zum erstenmal 1901 in einer Buchausgabe und stellt den ersten Band des von Karl May verfassten Lieferungsromans Deutsche Herzen, deutsche Helden dar. Die tschechische Ausgabe mit den Illustrationen von Věnceslav Černý publizierte der Verjag Alois Hynek, Prag, 1904.

Er hatte den Säbel gezogen und die Klinge tief in das Grab gestossen.

"Ist es nun so richtig?"

"Es gelang mir, das eine Tier zu fassen."

"Verräterin, das gelingt dir nicht!"

"Nimm die Hand vom Gürtel!" rief Steinbach drohend.

Im nächsten Augenblick holte der Lord aus und gab dem Derwisch ein paar Ohrfeigen.

Der Derwisch behandelte Tschita ganz wie eine Ware

"Ich werde schlagen."

"Wie? Du fliehst mich?" fragte er erstaunt.

"Er ist ohnmächtig!"  meinte Wallert.

Im Nu hatte Steinbach jetzt seine Finger um das eiserne Halsband desTieres gelegt.

"Meinst du damit, dass diesem hier auch niemand zu widerstehen vermöge?"

"Also wirklich, Du hast Wort gehalten!"

Ein zweiter Hieb und Steinbach flog über Bord.

Auf dem Kissen sass Gökala, bleich wie der Tod.

"Da machen Sie sich keine SOrge. Ich werde dieses Bild keinem Menschen zeigen."

 Zykyma stieg hinaus auf die Leiter und hinunter in den Garten.

 

Alle trugen die in Konstantinopel so gebräuchlichen Papierlaternen.

"Das war Rettung in der Not!" sagte Wallert aufatmend.

Als sich die beiden Reiter den Zelten näherten, hatten sich alle männlichen Bewohner des Lagers auf die Pferde geworfen.

Der Diener sass fast in einer unmöglichen Stellung im Sattel.

Die Kugel drang dem Tuareg in die Hand.

"Du siehst ja, dass ich hier nicht stehen kann."

Die beiden Mädchen setzten sich im selben Augenblick auf die Mauer.

"Ich leuchte Sie an", antwortete der Gefragte trocken.

 Noch einmal drückte Normann die Geliebte an sich.

 "Du wirst mitreiten. Ich befehle es dir!"

Steinbach ergriff das nächste der beiden Mädchen.

CANONBIE DICK AND THOMAS OF ERCILDOUNE

 And, before Dick knew what he was about, a perfect whirlwind of cold, raw air tore through the cavern, carrying the luckless horse-dealer along with it; and, hurrying him along the narrow passage through which he had entered, dashed him down outside on a bank of loose stones and shale. He fell right to the bottom, and was found, with little life left in him, next morning, by some shepherds, to whom he had just strength enough left to whisper the story of his weird and fearful adventure.

THE LAIRD O' CO'

POUSSIE BAUDRONS

 "Poussie, Poussie Baudrons, What got ye there?" "I got a guid fat mousikie, Rinning up a stair."

THE MILK-WHITE DOO

By this time it was evening, and the Goodman and his wife, and his little daughter, Golden-Tresses, were sitting round the table eating their supper. And you may be sure that they were all very much startled when the stones came rattling down the chimney, bringing such a cloud of soot with them that they were like to be smothered. They all jumped up from their chairs, and ran outside to see what the matter was.

THE DRAIGLIN' HOGNEY

Some time afterwards the second of the three sons came to his father in the old home with the same request that his brother had made. That he should be provided with a horse, a hawk, and a hound, and be allowed to go out to seek his fortune. And his father listened to him, and gave him what he asked, as he had given his brother.

THE BROWNIE O' FERNE-DEN

THE WITCH OF FIFE

And there they had mounted invisible horses of wind, and had ridden and ridden, over mountains and glens, and glaciers, till they reached the land of the Lapps lying under its mantle of snow.

For to him it was the croak of no earthly bird, but the voice of his wife whispering words of magic to him. And when he heard them he jumped for joy, for he knew that they were words of deliverance, and he shouted them aloud, and his chains fell off, and he mounted in the air—up and up—while the onlookers watched him in awestruck silence.

ASSIPATTLE AND THE MESTER STOORWORM

Assipattle, sailing slowly over the sea, and watching the Mester Stoorworm intently, noticed that the terrible Monster yawned occasionally, as if longing for his weekly feast. And as it yawned a great flood of sea-water went down its throat, and came out again at its huge gills.

THE FOX AND THE WOLF

But the wily Fox was fond of butter, and he made up his mind that he would have it all to himself. So he put on his wisest look, and shook his head gravely.
"Thou hast no prudence, my friend," he said reproachfully, "else wouldst thou not talk of breaking up a Keg of Butter at this time of year, when the stackyards are full of good grain, which can be had for the eating, and the farmyards are stocked with nice fat ducks and poultry. No, no. It behoveth us to have foresight, and to lay up in store for the spring, when the grain is all threshed, and the stackyards are bare, and the poultry have gone to market. So we will e'en bury the Keg, and dig it up when we have need of it."

KATHERINE CRACKERNUTS

And the moment that the Princess did so off jumped her own pretty head, and on jumped that of a sheep.

Times To Sneeze

FARQUHAR MACNEILL

They all stopped their various employments when Farquhar came suddenly down in their midst, and looked at him in alarm; but when they saw that he was not hurt, they bowed gravely and bade him be seated. Then they went on with their work and with their play as if nothing had happened.
