Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto & Windus, 1934. First U.K. Edition. First Impression. Octavo (19.5cm); brown cloth, with titles stamped in gilt on spine; [viii],295,[1]pp. Forward lean, light surface wear to cloth, with modest wear to extremities (particularly upper front board), faint foxing to endpapers, and some light soil to upper edge of textblock; Very Good, lacking the dustjacket. The enigmatic author's best-known work, basis for John Huston's Oscar-winning film noir (1948), starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and Tim Holt. Traven was unhappy enough with Creighton's translation from the German that he undertook the task himself for the American edition, published by Knopf in 1935. TREVERTON 260; RECKNAGEL 440; The Dark Page, Vol.1, pp.324-325.
Sinopsis
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a 1927 novel by the mysterious German-English bilingual author B. Traven, in which two penurious Americans of the 1920s join with an old-timer, in Mexico, to prospect for gold. The book was adapted successfully as a 1948 film of the same name by John Huston.
