"Survint la nuit et la pleine lune s'éleva dans le ciel au-dessus des arbres; elle illumina la contrée, qui baigna bientôt dans une lueur fantomatique. Avec l'arrivée de la nuit, Buck, qui ruminait toujours son chagrin et se lamentait près de l'étang, devint conscient qu'une vie nouvelle produisait dans la forêt une agitation différente de celle qu'avaient suscitée les Yeehats. Il se leva pour écouter et sentir. des lointains s'élevait un jappement faible mais perçant, suivi par un choeur de jappements perçants qui lui ressemblaient. Alors que le temps passait, les cris se rapprochèrent, devinrent plus forts. Buck les reconnut une nouvelle fois : il les avait entendus dans cet autre monde qui persistait en sa mémoire. Il marcha jusqu'au centre de la clairière et écouta. C'était l'appel, l'appel aux notes nombreuses, qui résonnait, plus irrésistible qu'il l'avait jamais été auparavant. Et comme jamais auparavant, il était prêt à lui obéir.."Qui n'a pas été ému aux larmes en suivant les aventures du chien Buck, ou celles du loup Croc-Blanc ? celles de Kazan, le chien-loup ? Qui n'a pas cherché, dans les attitudes et les regards de son compagnon, ces reliquats d'instinct sauvage, merveilleux ? Le chien, notre ami de toujours, qui a sacrifié sa nature par amour de nous... si bien servi par les plumes de Jack London et de Curwood...

La Force des forts (titre original : The Strength of the Strong) est une nouvelle américaine de Jack London publiée aux États-Unis en 1911.Devant sa caverne préhistorique, Barbe-Longue, un ancien, raconte à ses petits-fils l'histoire des conflits entre les Mangeurs-de-Poisson et les Mangeurs-de-Viande. "Un jour, tous les imbéciles seront morts et alors, tous les vivants iront de l'avant ensemble. La force des forts leur appartiendra et ils s'uniront, si bien que de tous les hommes du monde, pas un ne se battra contre les autres"

Disillusioned by the urban labor strikes of early 20th-century Oakland, California, Billy and Saxon Roberts flee the city to begin anew as ranchers in the idyllic Sonoma Valley. Their journey back to the land provides the backdrop for the novel's exploration of a classic American theme-the promise of wide-open spaces-and echoes Jack London's own journey as a rancher in the Sonoma Valley. The Valley of the Moon is a love story. A road novel. A study of American independence.

This is a seminal book-fully revised with new poetry and photographs-of exploration and discovery into the literary genesis of Jack London, one of American's most famous authors. It brings together all the poetry of Jack London to support the assertion that he was first and foremost a poet who wrote fiction and nonfiction and not a writer of fiction and nonfiction who also wrote poetry. After more than 30 years of research in all the known depositories and databases of Jack London material, Wichlan publishes his groundbreaking research and analysis. The book contains the poetry embedded in London's writing and correctly identifies previously uncredited authors and defines the poetry probably written by Jack London. Included in this book are two published plays in verse, "The First Poet" and "The Acorn Planter," and book inscriptions Jack London wrote in his first editions given to his first wife, Bessie Maddern, their children and his second wife, Charmian London. Twenty-eight pages from his first log book "No 1-Magazine Sales" are reproduced, which reveal the true extent of London's avid study of classical prosody taken from a previously unknown source. In an extended introduction Dan Wichlan cites many examples and quotes from London's 55 books, numerous letters, and descriptions of his life with poetry from Charmian London's biography of her husband. Dan connects and links London's words and actions from many sources to support the central theme of the book that Jack London was a poet and his lyrical prose style a direct consequence of prosodic studies, poetic aspirations and a lifelong passion for poetry. Therefore, this book is essential reading for those interested in discovering the true Jack London.

Told from the perspective of Bassett, an English scientist, Jack London¿s The Red One follows an astonishing expedition in the Solomon Islands. Originally on a quest to collect butterflies, Bassett explores the jungle of Guadalcanal. However, the scientist finds much more than just butterflies. After being kidnapped by a cannibalistic tribe, Bassett is saved by a native woman, who leads him to her settlement. As he learns of the strange politics of this native group, Bassett discovers the being they worship. Referred to as ¿Red One,¿ the native¿s god is a giant red sphere, said to originate from an extraterrestrial planet. The natives are devoted to the Red One, and perform human sacrifices to appease them. Much like the natives, Bassett soon becomes obsessed with the red sphere, risking his expedition. With cannibalism, bounty hunters, malaria, moral debates, unfamiliar terrain and a new god, each moment Basset spends in the jungle becomes closer to his last. While the genre had existed long before its publication in 1918, Jack London¿s The Red One is an early example of the golden era of science fiction, also known as the pulp era. With a setting unfamiliar to much of London¿s American audience, The Red One allows readers to explore the Solomon Islands while also engaging with a strange, extraterrestrial being. Featuring articulate prose, London¿s The Red One paints an imaginative and mystical portrait of the Solomon Islands. Reprinted twice in its publication year, The Red One enthralled 20th century readers. Now, just over one hundred years later, modern audiences can still enjoy the wonder of the setting and plot, while also identifying the undertones of racism and misogyny prevalent in the 20th century, providing insight on the culture and a new perspective on Jack London¿s The Red One. With a new, eye-catching cover design and a stylish and modern font, this edition of The Red One by Jack London accommodates contemporary audiences. These new features create a more accessible and luxurious reading experience, allowing modern readers to relish in the rich prose of Jack London without sacrificing modern style standards.
