Summary: These settings are exotic, for the most part in the Mexican back country of jungle and sierra that the visitor seldom sees. The descriptions are brooding and passionate. Traven's identification with the dispossessed - including his uncanny insight into the lives of the Mexican Indians - is strong, and his major themes recure : sickness and death in a primitive land, loneliness, fear and superstition, hard work at low wages. His raw material is authentic and his humor is biting.
