Publisher's Synopsis
The man who called himself Adam Johnson Claimed "that a writer should have no other biographie than his books". If we know a little more today about the author of the "Treasure of the Sierra Madre", it is to read it that we will find the answer to the enigma. A riddle such as Albert Einstein when asked which book he would take to a desert island answered "any one as long as it is from Traven." To this tribute, millions of readers around the world have responded by making the most mysterious of writers one of the most popular.
