TRAVEN, B. The Cotton Pickers
TRAVEN, B. The Cotton Pickers. London: Robert Hale. 1956. First English language edition. Trans. Eleanor Brockett. Originally published as ‘The Wobbly’ in Germany in 1926, this is the elusive author’s very first novel, written almost immediately after arriving in Mexico in 1924. A few years later, he would go on to write his most famous work, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, and by the time Hale published his first work here, Traven was a best-seller across Europe, in spite of or perhaps because of his highly elusive personality; Traven was a pseudonym for an unknown but probably German novelist who probably moved to and lived in Mexico for much of his adult life. A near fine book with a very gentle lean else fine, in a very good price-clipped dust jacket designed by P. & G. Dawson, with a few small nicks to the corners and at the spine head and tail, 2cm tear to top edge of rear panel.
