"Die Kinder des Str flings" ist ein Abenteuerroman, der 1876 in vier B nden (276, 235, 249 & 221 Seiten) erschienen ist. Dass "Action" bei einem Abenteuerroman aus dem 19. Jh., zumal von M llhausen, nicht dem heutigen Verst ndnis dieser Gattung entspricht, d rfte bekannt sein. Bei diesem umfangreichen Werk, das wie so oft bei diesem Autor in der alten und der neuen Welt spielt, geht es in zun chst um das Wuchererunwesen in der deutschen Heimat (Eugene Sue und Victor Hugos "Elende" haben bei den Bildern des sozialen Elends und den Mystery-Aspekten sichtlich Pate gestanden), w hrend im zweiten Teil die Endphase des B rgerkrieges in den USA den Hintergrund bildet. Dass der Autor einen frauenfreundlichen und sklavereifeindlichen Standpunkt innehat, wird auch der heutige Leser mit einer gewissen Genugtuung zur Kenntnis nehmen. Die Handlungen entbehren zum Teil durchaus nicht einer gewissen Drastik.
