This book is a classic by every measure of the term. Devotees of the famous movie by the same name will love the infinite detail and texture that is possible only with the written word. It is an adventure story for the ages, as well as being deeply philosophical.

An old fashioned adventure story but worth reading.

This is a great book and timeless. Traven delves deep into characters as in many of the psychological writers of his time such as Hemingway.
