Title: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Translated from the German of 'Der Schatz der Sierra Madre' by Basil Creighton.
Description: Chatto & Windus, London, 1934. 1st Edition. Hardcover. The first English-language edition. 8vo. 295pp. Brown cloth lettered in gold at the spine and with a small gilt decoration. Cloth a little spotted and with just a trace of wear to several extremities. A touch of spotting to the endpapers and browning to a blank preliminary and concluding leaf, and the publisher's top edge stain just a little patchy. Really quite a nice, crisp copy, lacking the uncommon dust wrapper. The basis for John Huston's magnificent Bogart movie, this Creighton translation precedes Traven's own translation which he produced for the American issue (Knopf, 1935 - the author is on record stating his preference for this version). Good/No Jacket.
