"raw and raked, wild and free..." ...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. length: (cm)17.4 width:(cm)10.7
