Jack London illustrated (The call of the wild; White Fang; The sea-wolf and 40 short stories)

THE NAME OF JACK LONDON is sure to be at the top of anyone’s list of great writers of adventure stories. While others have created tales of adventure, no one but Jack London has done so with such force and eloquence. London broadcast his message of raw life with all its inherent flaws, ecstasies, and miseries. His stories contained a new element, a stirring and unrelenting realism.

Many of London’s best and most popular works are included in this volume, which has been profusely illustrated with the original art work that accompanied the stories when first issued. The Call of the Wild and White Fang are two of the best dog stories ever written, in constant demand throughout the world by people of all ages. Probably the most well known body of London’s writings are his tales of the Klondike. These stories that brought him worldwide acclaim are included here in four complete anthologies: The Son of the Wolf, The God of His Fathers, Children of the Frost, and The Faith of Men.

Many consider The Sea-Wolf to be the greatest of all sea adventures, for it is an epic and moving tale, in many ways London at his best. As are most of his stories, it is based on episodes in the author’s incredibly varied life. Rounding out the book are two tales of the Klondike, “The Gold Hunters of the North” and “Husky—The Wolf-Dog of the North,” which have rarely been reprinted.

This outstanding collection conveys the force and energy of London’s vision of man and the elements—realistic, brutal, vigorous, and always exciting.
