«El tesoro del lago de la Plata» is the adventure novel by Karl May, published by El País in paperback (462 pages, in Spanish).
In the Wild West, a group of trappers, Tonkawa Indians and travelers, including engineer Patterson and his daughter, boards the steamer Dogfish. Their arrival at Silver Lake unleashes the mystery of a double treasure: one hidden beneath the lake's waters and another, a valuable silver deposit, in the nearby valley.
The novel was originally published in 1891 as Der Schatz im Silbersee. This edition (Aventuras de El País collection, no. 37) includes the translation by María Dolores Ávalos and María Luisa Delgado.
A classic of 19th-century adventure literature, for those who enjoy Wild West stories and the work of Karl May.
Karl Friedrich May was a German author known for writing often in first-person narrative about travels and adventures, mostly set in the American Old West or the Orient and Middle East, but also in Latin America, China and within Germany. For a time he insisted that he actually had travelled to the West and was called Old Shatterhand there, while in the Ottoman Empire he was called Kara Ben Nemsi, and posed in costumes.
