Editorial Comment

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is regarded as B. Traven’s masterpiece. It is indeed a superb novel, and in addition it was made into an excellent movie by the same name. But The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, written in 1927, is merely the best-known work by a master storyteller who lived and wrote for another 42 years. Traven’s body of work chronicles the loss of individual freedom in his lifetime. He celebrates wildness and describes the horrors of regimentation imposed by the state for the rich. B. Traven is a pseudonym. All that is known of this writer’s personal life is that he died in Mexico after he resided in this country and loved it like a native son for many years. Much ink has been spent on speculations about Traven’s country of birth and a personal history that might have included political activism. On this topic, Traven wrote: “My life belongs to me alone — only my books belong to the public.” His books are more than enough.

“The partners, as a rule, rarely talked of women. They knew from experience that it was not good for their health or for their work to think too frequently of things they could not have.

“Anyone listening to their discussions would have been unable to imagine any of these men holding a woman in his arms. Any decent woman would have preferred to drown herself or cut her veins rather than keep company with these men. The fellows themselves, having lost all means of comparison with other people, could, of course, know nothing about the impression they would make upon an outsider who by chance should meet them. They saw only themselves, and none of them cared how he looked or how he spoke.

“The gold worn around the finger of an elegant lady or as a crown on the head of a king has more often than not passed through hands of creatures who would make that king or that elegant lady shudder. There is little doubt that gold is oftener bathed in human blood than in hot suds. A noble king who wished to show his high-mindedness could do no better than have his crown made of iron. Gold is for thieves and swindlers. For this reason they own most of it. The rest is owned by those who do not care where the gold comes from or in what sort of hands it has been.”
