Traven: Portrait of a Famous Unknown 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 psudonym), a German stage actor and editor of an anarchist newspaper in Germany called Der Ziegelbrenner (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, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, from 1927, was adapted for film in 1948 by John Huston. Golo’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.   BUY THE BOOK   See more spreads below   “By dwelling so effectively on Traven’s years as a revolutionary known as Ret Marut, Golo taught me so much about the Bavarian soviet republic of 1919. For that alone this book would have been very precious and profitable for me.” —Raton-Liseur, Babelio.com “Golo’s B. Traven: Portrait of a Famous Unknown, in a comic art format, provides a new and wonderful way to look at one of the twentieth century’s most mysterious radicals and one of its now-forgotten novelists. We may not have all the answers, but we do know that Traven led a most fascinating life continent to continent, bohemian to revolutionary milieu.” —Paul Buhle, retired senior lecturer, Brown University; authorized biographer of C.L.R.
