This antiquarian book contains Jack London’s 1911 novel, ‚Adventure‘. It tells the story of the relationship between a man who finds himself harassed by a group of cannibals on a plantation and a fierce, independent, and liberated woman who arrives at the plantation and changes everything. It is a hard-hitting exploration of slavery and colonialism set on the Solomon Islands, and was the cause of much controversy. An interesting and thought-provoking read, this text constitutes a must-have for fans of London’s work, and is one not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters contained herein include: ‚Something to be Done‘, ‚Something is Done‘, ‚The Jessie‘, ‚Joan Lackland‘, ‚She Would a Planter Be‘, ‚Tempest‘, ‚A Hard-Bitten Gang‘, ‚Local Colour‘, ‚As Between a Man and Woman‘, ‚A Message from Boucher‘, etcetera. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition – complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
