This 1912 collection of eight short stories set in the South Pacific features the wealthy merchant adventurer Captain David Grief, a sun-bronzed hero as apt to solve his problems with brains as he is with brawn. He encounters natives, pirates, and colonists during his dangerous journeys.
About the author
Jack London (1876-1916) was born in San Francisco, the illegitimate son of a music teacher whose lover spurned her after she refused an abortion. His writings dealt with his social activism and care for the worker. Largely self-educated, London became a sailor, a hobo, a gold miner, and a socialist—all of which would find their way into his fiction.
