Produktbeschreibung

An itinerant worker leaves a trail of rebellion as he clashes with the exploitation of workers in this first novel by the author of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre .

"Readers who ignore the genius of B. Traven do so at their peril." - New York Times Book Review

Set in the 1920s in Mexico, B. Traven's The Cotton-Pickers tells the story of Gerald Gales, who drifts in and out of jobs-on a cotton plantation, an oil field, in a pastry shop, and on a ranch-exposing the dangerous exploitation at each station and fomenting workers' rights along the way. Adventurous, funny, and full of humanity, The Cotton-Pickers challenges and delights readers to this day.

" The Cotton-Pickers is a welcome short early novel to add to the small but prestigious body of the reclusive author's work. . . . Traven is a brilliant storyteller who satisfies at the action/adventure level while directing his theme at the subconscious." - Kirkus Reviews
