Love of Life, and Other Stories
Love of Life and Other Stories, published in 1907, gathers eight of Jack London's tales, most of them set in the frozen North he had known during the Klondike gold rush. In the title story, a prospector abandoned by his partner crawls across the barren lands toward the sea, starving and followed by a sick wolf waiting for him to die. "The Unexpected" shows a woman forced to act as judge and executioner in a snowbound cabin, "Brown Wolf" tests a dog's loyalty between two masters, and "The Story of Keesh" and "Negore, the Coward" draw on the life of Native peoples. The prose is spare and the struggles elemental. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first story is free.
