Traven was a German, who left Germany when things were getting dicey after World War I. He lived a few decades in Mexico. His character driven tale of greed is the inspiration of the classic film, directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart.

Grittier and edgier than the film, Traven's book digs deep into the crevices of morality, as each character shows three sides to many complicated situations as they mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains.

Running Time: 11 hours, 24 minutes

PG-13 content: Title contains profanity and violence consistent with films with a PG-13 rating.

Newly-moneyed Jimmy can’t seem to get a certain girl out of his head. He’s never even spoken to her - the two have merely shared looks and smiles while traveling on an ocean voyage. But when he takes a bet to break into a house, and is caught by the owner of the house, (the chief of police, no less), a series of complicated events is set in motion. The first of which is the unaccountable appearance of his mystery girl. Soon Jimmy must show his true mettle, while demonstrating his singular gift for intrusion.
