The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, B. Traven

First UK edition, first printing of this Western classic, basis for the 1948 film noir directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart. This is the first edition in English, after being published in German in 1927 by B. Traven, whose real identity remains unknown. Traven "is probably the most mysterious and baffling of all modern writers: a man who has seemingly courted obscurity as another might court fame and notoriety, courted oblivion with an almost pathological intensity" (Hagemann). Translated from the German by Basil Creighton. Housed in a custom goatskin-backed clamshell box, spine ruled, tooled, and lettered in gilt. 

London: Chatto & Windus, 1934. Publisher's original orange-brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt; pp. (vi), 295, [1]. A very good copy in a very good, unclipped dust jacket. Binding firm with minimal shelfwear to boards, light sunning to top edges, small stain to foredge, minor offsetting to endpapers, scattered foxing, small bookshop label to rear pastedown. Jacket has benefited from professional paper restoration to spine ends and corners, remaining bright and vivid, and showing minor shelfwear and rubbing. Protected in archival mylar. Case in fine condition.
