Traven: Portrait of a Famous Unknown\u003c\/em\u003e is a graphic biography that tells the larger-than-life story of the German revolutionary, actor, and writer known as B. Traven (1882–1969). Despite his commercial success as a best-selling writer, Traven managed to keep his identity a secret during his lifetime. It is now generally accepted that Traven was in fact \"Ret Marut\" (another pseudonym), a German stage actor and editor of an anarchist newspaper in Germany called \u003cem\u003eDer Ziegelbrenner\u003c\/em\u003e (The Brickburner). As Marut, he was a major participant in the short-lived Bavarian Council Republic of 1919–20. Barely escaping execution, he fled Germany and lived incognito for the remainder of his life. His entire literary work, a great commercial success in its day, combines lively and often humorous storytelling with radical critique of capitalism and nationalism. His best-known work, \u003cem\u003eThe Treasure of the Sierra Madre\u003c\/em\u003e, from 1927, was adapted for film in 1948 by John Huston.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGolo's account of Traven's life, rendered with stunning artwork, begins and ends with his ashes being dropped from a plane over the Lacandon jungle in Chiapas, Mexico, just a quarter century before the explosive uprising of the Zapatistas seemed to echo his deepest wishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460527898860,"sku":"9798887440552","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9798887440552-b-traven.jpg?v=1774947898"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/golo.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
