Blurb: “A choice collection from one of the world's great storytellers
TO THE MAN ON TRAIL • THE LAW OF LIFE • THE WIT OF PORPORTUK TO BUILD A FIRE • THE HEATHEN • A PIECE OF STEAK • LOVE OF LIFE LOST FACE • THE PEARLS OF PARLAY • AN ODYSSEY OF THE NORTH
With an Introduction by EUGENE BURDICK”
...that was the way Jack London saw life, and the more he lived it the more enamored of it he became. "All I saw," he once wrote,
"was glamor of conquest, of scarlet adventure and yellow gold. ...The life was brave and wild, and I was living the adventure I had read so much about."
Brilliant, poetic, swift with violence and action, his stories clearly illustrate the unique
spirit of his unbridled genius. Critics admitted that the young firebrand — "while frightfully primitive" - was challenging Poe, Kipling and Melville as a one-in-a-million storyteller.
The tales in this volume have been thrilling readers for nearly half a century.“
