What Critics Have Said:
“Behind the gripping adventure of a Traven novel lies the theme that motivates much of rare literature, which can age but never die: the ability of the human spirit to resist and ultimately transcend every assault against its inherent nobility.” – John Anthony West, New York Times.
“What is most intriguing about B. Traven, what links his work so irrevocably to our present moment, is precisely what has no mystery at all […] His novels remain absent of any utopianism, and instead, they describe the resilience of those relegated to the harsh peripheries of capital accumulation and the possible gains achieved through collective action and internationalism.” – Clinton Williamson, The Nation.
