First published in 1914, “The Mutiny of the Elsinore” is a novel by American writer Jack London that centres around the death of a ship’s captain and the ensuing conflict that arises as a result of a split in leadership and loyalty. The story is partially based on London’s own experiences voyaging around Cape Horn on a ship called “The Dirigo” in 1912. John Griffith London (1876 – 1916), commonly known as Jack London, was an American journalist, social activist, and novelist. He was an early pioneer of commercial magazine fiction, becoming one of the first globally-famous celebrity writers who were able to earn a large amount of money from their writing. London is famous for his contributions to early science fiction and also notably belonged to ‘The Crowd’, a literary group an Francisco known for its radical members and ideas. Other notable works by this author include: “Martin Eden” (1909), “The Kempton-Wace Letters” (1903), and “The Call of the Wild” (1903). Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
