MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 23, 1882: B. Traven was born on this date in Poznan, Poland. Traven’s real name was probably Ret Marut. He was active in the Bavarian uprising and the Bavarian Soviet Republic of 1919. When the German state quashed the Republic and started arresting and executing activists, he fled to Mexico, where he began writing novels. Traven was a brilliant satirist and wrote novels sympathetic to workers and peasants, including the “Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” “The Death Ship,” “The White Rose,” as well as his Jungle Series of novel depicting the plight of Indigenous campesinos in Mexico.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BTraven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BTraven</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uprising</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/soviet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>soviet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rebellion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rebellion</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peasants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peasants</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/campesinos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>campesinos</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mexico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mexico</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/germany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>germany</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

📻🇲🇽✍️ Phantom eines Schriftstellers: Wer B. Traven wirklich war

WDR Zeitzeichen. 26.03.2024

Als Bestsellerautor ist B. Traven international bekannt, doch keiner kennt seine Identität: Erst nach seinem Tod am 26.3.1969 lösen sich einige Rätsel.

Ein Buch für ein Jahrhundert: Fast 100 Jahre nach seinem ersten Erscheinen wurde „Das Totenschiff“ von B. Traven neu aufgelegt und erneut hochgelobt. Zwölf Romane hat der 1890 geboren B. Traven verfasst und ist damit zum Star-Autoren avanciert. Er selbst bleibt zeitlebens ein Phantom, gibt sich weder seinen Lesern noch seinen Verleger zu erkennen – und sorgt so bis zu seinem Tod für reichlich Spekulationen.

(comment on B. Traven und Mexiko)

"Jede Revolution, jede Tat für die Befreiung des Menschen verfehlt ihren Zweck, die nicht zuerst die entsetzlichste Seuche der Menschheit, die Presse beseitigt.“

Als Ret Marut publizierte er von 1917 bis 1921 unter häufig politisch wie finanziell äußerst prekären Bedingungen das vor allem herrschafts- und medienkritische Blatt „Der Ziegelbrenner“, in dem wir noch heute die profunde Weisheit des obigen Aphorismus genießen können.

Als ihm Mitte der 1920er Jahre endlich die Flucht aus dem europäischen Verhängnis nach Mexiko gelungen ist, wird er dort als B. Traven für die einen Prosatexte über Außenseiter, Banditen, Indianer und Revolutionäre verfassen und für die anderen als Phantom des geheimnisumwitterten Schrifstellers ohne (ver-)haftbare Identität herumgeistern.

I started reading #DieWeißeRose by #BTraven. It's about an oil company that wants to buy up farmland in Mexico. The indigenous farm owner however argues that the farm has fed his kin for many generations and that he owes it to future generations to keep it that way. That book is 94 years old and constantly drops arguments about sustainability, corporate expansionism, the environment vs fossile oil.
I'm thinking about ways to post the book here as a continuing story. #kbooks

@ancient_catbus Not really. Any single individual involved is a normal human being with average moral adjustment, acting to the best of their capabilities within the role this system offers them. It is the system as a whole that defines these roles which is inhumane. Try reading #BTraven.

@kaia He looks like a proper anarchist, doesn't he? :pixelheart:
Erich Mühsam also was the first to figure out B.Traven's new identity by the books Traven wrote in Mexico. They were friends from their time during the Bavarian Council Republic. #btraven
