One of B. Traven's best known and earliest novels (first written in 1923 or '24). It's the story of a sailor who loses his papers and, unable to prove his very existence, ends up working on a "death ship" which is destined to be sunk for the insurance money. A cry from the heart against capitalist exploitation and all the bureaucratic paraphernalia of border control that goes with it. Working class grim humour at its finest!

Finished this book the other
Finished this book the other day, it's amazing.
Particularly book 2, talking about work aboard a death ship, it's just brilliant working class writing. With the feel of Zola's Germinal (but on ships rather than down mines).
I would recommend it!
