Summary:

Here are 15 stories by the author who later became famous under the name B. Traven, written during the years when - as Ret Marut - he was an itinerant actor and journalist in Germany before and during World War 1. Most of these stories first appeared when Marut was editing an obstreperous antiwar newspaper - 'The Brick-Burner' - in Munich. They foreshadow many of the themes and philosophy which characterize such great works as The Death Ship and the novels and stories Traven later wrote in Mexico.
