Translated by Adel Garami
A gripping dark adventure classic following three down-on-their-luck prospectors in the Mexican mountains, where the hunt for gold transforms into a terrifying test of greed, trust, and madness.
About this book
Masterfully translated into Arabic by Adel Garami, Bruno Traven’s timeless adventure classic delves deep into the darkest corners of human desire. Set in 1920s Mexico, three impoverished American drifters unite their meager resources to embark on a perilous gold-prospecting expedition in the rugged Sierra Madre mountains. As their grueling toil pays off and dust turns to fortune, paranoia, suspicion, and insatiable greed begin to erode their trust. Traven crafts a hauntingly realistic, suspenseful tale that is less about finding gold and more about how the obsession with wealth corrupts the human soul.
