The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

A Novel

By: B. Traven

“Traven’s philosophical anarchism . . . his love of individual liberty and the primitive past could . . . command as much reverence . . . as . . . Henry David Thoreau.” ―William Weber Johnson, Los Angeles Times A cult masterpiece—the adventure novel that inspired John Huston’s Academy-award winning film, by the elusive author who was a model for the hero of Roberto Bolano's 2666. Little is known for certain about B. Traven. Evidence suggests that he was born Otto Feige in Schlewsig-Holstein and that he escaped a death sentence for his involvement with the anarchist underground in Bavaria. Traven spent most of his adult life in Mexico, where, under various names, he wrote several bestsellers and was an outspoken defender of the rights of Mexico's indigenous people. First published in 1935, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is Traven's most famous and enduring work, the dark, savagely ironic, and riveting story of three down-and-out Americans hunting for gold in Sonora. “He tells his story better than the best storytellers; delves deeper into characters than most so-called psychological writers. All the virility, terseness and tension that Hemingway worked so hard for . . . seem to be Traven's by birthright.” ―Hugo award-winning author John Anthony West, Books and Bookmen

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

By: B. Traven

The Treasure of Sierra Madre" is the literary masterpiece for America's pop mythology of the Wild West. A savagely ironic novel, it follows the rugged adventure of three Americans hunting for gold in the mountains of Mexico who find themselves caught in a morality tale of greed and betrayal. Originally published in 1935, the book has captivated millions of readers, including the director John Huston, who immortalized it in his 1948 film starring Humphrey Bogart. This is a timeless story that has much to teach us, for, as we all know, finding the treasure is always secondary to the hunt.
