The Death Ship is a novel by the author B. Traven, published in 1975 by Círculo de Lectores. The story tells the misadventures of a sailor who, after losing his documentation, is trapped in a legal and social limbo, forced to work on ships of dubious reputation. The work explores themes such as alienation, labor exploitation and the struggle for survival in an implacable world.
B. Traven was the pen name of a novelist, presumed to be German, known for his novels on injustice and exploitation around the world, and especially in Mexico. His name, nationality, date and place of birth have been subject to dispute. One certainty about Traven's life is that he lived under the name of Ret Marut in Germany until 1923 and arrived in 1924 in Mexico, where the majority of his fiction is also set—including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1927), the film adaptation of which won three Academy Awards in 1949.
