Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi
''Kara Ben Nemsi Effendi'' is a German television series broadcast from 1973 through 1975 in 26 parts and two seasons. It featured an adventurer probably inspired by British explorers Richard Francis Burton (1821–1890) and T. E. Lawrence. The scripts were faithful to Karl May's Orient novels, and the score is from Martin Böttcher who previously had composed the music for ten very successful Karl May films in cinema, and also for the two parts of '' Winnetous Rückkehr'' in 1998, also being aired by the German station ZDF. Protagonist Kara Ben Nemsi (Karl Michael Vogler) has traveled the Wild West as ''Old Shatterhand'' and is now about to explore the Near East.

Kara Ben Nemsi, a German hero-adventurer of the 1880s, is actually a kind of superman (as was ''Doc Savage'' later), not only speaking dozens of foreign tong ...
