First American Edition. According to some reports, Traven originally wrote this novel in English and then translated it to German for publication in Berlin as Das Totenschiff in 1926. Chatto & Windus published the first English language version in London in 1934 with a translation by Eric Sutton. Traven disliked the Sutton translation and produced his own revised English language version, with 61 additional pages, for this American edition published later the same year. Near fine, with faint offsetting to endpapers, in a bright very good plus dustjacket that is price-clipped and has minor wear at spine edges and very light toning to spine panel. An excellent copy.
