Overview

Collected works. For nearly a century, Jack London has been an international icon, more widely read and translated that any other American author. First and foremost, however, he has always been a Californian, the first major writer based in the Golden State. In this exciting and original anthology, editor Gerald Haslam has selected from the best of London's writings, including Valley Of The Moon, John Barleycorn, Martin Eden, The Sea Wolf, Star Rover, The Iron Heel, and other classic works, along with essays, short stories, and journalism. Together, these writings display the supreme skillfulness of London's prose, his political and social passions, his unsurpassed ability to render emotional states and physical landscapes. For those who have not read London in recent years, this anthology offers an opportunity to rediscover a truly great writer.
