B. Traven (Bruno Traven in some accounts) was the pen name of a presumably German novelist, whose real name, nationality, date and place of birth and details of biography are all subject to dispute. One of the few certainties about Traven's life is that he lived for years in Mexico, where the majority of his fiction is also set including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1927). The film adaptation of the same name won three Academy Awards in 1948. Virtually every detail of Traven's life has been disputed and hotly debated. There were many hypotheses on the true identity of B. Traven, some of them wildly fantastic. Most agree that Traven was Ret Marut, a German stage actor and anarchist, who supposedly left Europe for Mexico around 1924,[1][2] who had edited an anarchist newspaper in Germany called Der Ziegelbrenner ("The Brickburner") and who himself possibly operated under the same pseudonym.

xiii+338 pages with plates, Appendices, bibliography and index. Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with gilt lettering to spine. First edition. There are those who write fiction and those who live it. The man known as B Traven, for whatever reasons - theatrical, political, romantic, pathological (and all of these motives have been ascribed to him) - fell dramatically into both camps. The author of such bristling adventures as "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" made of his own identity one of the most elusive literary mysteries of the twentieth century and the unraveling of it in this remarkable book makes better reading than most thrillers.
