The story of a search
B. Traven is one of the most mysterious figures of the 20th century. He wrote "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and a dozen other fine books which have sold in millions around the world, but no publisher, no agent, and no fellow author ever met him - he has remained the Marie Celeste of literature, a name without an identity.
Nobody knew in what language he wrote. Nobody knew in what country he had been born. Nobody knew if he were one man or several. It was even said that those who sought him were struck down and destroyed. Was this photograph, taken in London in 1923, a picture of Traven? It was certainly a vital clue.
There were rumours that he was really Jack London, mysteriously still alive: that he was an American millionaire; the writer Ambrose Bierce, who had disappeared in Mexico; a German prince. B. Traven's books were first published in German, they were sent from Mexico, the author said he was an American. He boasted that his real name was a secret which no one would ever discover. Until now, no one has.
Robert Robinson and a BBC team followed a trail from Hollywood to the heart of Germany, from Mexico City to Limehouse to trace the life of this mystery man. For the first time the secrets of B. Traven are discovered.

This week: Why Can't a Woman Be More Like a Manager?
Why is it that so few women make it to management level where decision-making and responsibility lie - and even fewer to the top? ' They are their own worst enemies - they lack confidence.' ' There is always the risk they'll leave, have babies - and not come back.' ' Many men wouldn't be happy working for a woman.' Those are just a few of the reasons offered by employers. Are they to blame, or is it the women themselves?
On film Yvonne Roberts talks to three women managers and their bosses. They explain how they made it, and discuss whether it is possible to combine a career with a family, and whether there is too high a price to pay for success.
Not every woman necessarily wants to become a boss, but all want the right to choose - and to succeed or fail on their own merits.
