This 1911 collection of eight tales was based on London’s journey through the South Seas aboard his ship, The Snark. It focuses on the relations between natives and westerners—by no means to the advantage of the latter. Included are such stories as ‘The Terrible Solomons, ‘ ‘The House of Mapuhi, ‘ and ‘The Seed of Mc Coy.’
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.
