The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Originally published sixty years ago, this savagely ironic novel follows three Americans hunting for gold in the mountains of Mexico. With John Huston's brilliant 1948 film version starring Humphrey Bogart, Traven's investigation of camaraderie, greed and betrayal became part of American pop mythology; the book itself remains a literary masterpiece.
