The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Unabridged

A towering adventure story set in the wilds of Mexico after the First World War, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is B. Traven's much-beloved and thrilling tale of three desperate men who set out to make their fortune in the gold-filled Sierra Madre Mountains...and wind up confronting their own greed and paranoia along the way. The basis for the 1948 John Huston film of the same name (which featured Humphrey Bogart as Dobbs and an Oscar-winning performance by Walter Huston as the old prospector Howard), "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is the crowning literary achievement of the elusive B. Traven, one of the most enigmatic and mysterious figures in literary history. Exciting, disturbing and timeless, there are few books that so thoroughly explore the dark and dangerous world of fortune-hunting and survival in the untamed wilderness.
