Jack London's most inspired political texts, collected in one volume.Even a century after his death, Jack London remains one of America's most iconic authors. Born poor, and rising to become America's first millionaire writer, London was the living embodiment of the American Dream. His very life illustrated for many the limitless possibilities available to every man, woman and child living in America's capitalist society. What is often overlooked in these reminiscences, though, is the disdain London harbored for capitalism throughout his adult life. Before he wrote the stories that made him famous, before his rugged adventures on the sea, Jack London was an avowed socialist. Jack London: The Socialist Writings represents the most comprehensive collection of London's political texts available. This volume contains the full texts of London's most significant socialist works. In The People of the Abyss, London documents the deplorable conditions faced by England's poverty-stricken population. War of the Classes highlights the repeated failings of America's unchecked capitalism at the turn of the twentieth century. In Revolution and Other Essays, London is at his political best: thought provoking, witty, and inspiring as he argues for a transition from capitalism to a socialist economy. Also included are eight of London's most astute short essays, chronicling three decades of a maturing political philosophy: "What Socialism Is," "Laws Direct from Voters," "The Principles of the Republican Party," "The Economics of the Klondike," "The Apostate," "War," "Resignation from the Glen Ellen Socialist Party," and "Foreword to Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist." Here we see the development of London's socialist thought from his days as Oakland's orating "boy socialist" until weeks before his death. This book is required reading for anyone interested in the life and work of Jack London.

Jack London's two most acclaimed nonfiction books are together in one volume. During his relatively brief literary career, Jack London published over one hundred works of prose and drama and inspired scores of biographies claiming to know the truth about Jack London, whatever that truth may be. The truth is, there is no better authority on London than Jack London himself. Part of London's popularity is due to our vision of him as that rare man who did what he wanted and lived as he chose. Realistic or not, we see in London a man who lived without fear while searching for Truth. These two books, more than any others, clarify our understanding of who Jack London really was. The Road was first published in 1907, preceding On the Road by half a century and making Kerouac's journeys seem juvenile by comparison. Begun in 1892, The Road chronicles London's years as a penniless vagabond. Already a hardened man-child at sixteen, London set out on his trek with little more than a few coins and a notebook in his pocket. The book shows us London's brief stint in Kelly's "Army" and his month in the Erie County Penitentiary after an arrest for vagrancy. We see the beatific joy of sleeping under a moonlit sky and the unrestrained humiliation of begging for food. John Barleycorn was published three years before London's death and is the closest thing we have to a London autobiography. Here we see London at his best, and his most vulnerable. In contrast to the glut of myopic and self-serving celebrity tell-alls that would become a cottage industry nearly a century later, John Barleycorn gives us an honest and revealing look at the author and his inner demons. The common theme is London's experiences with alcohol and, perhaps luckily for us, alcohol was ever-present in London's life. Alcohol was there when London first got drunk as a five-year-old, it was there during his years on the sea, and it was there in London's later life as a catalyst for his inner philosophical debates with Death. Taken together, John Barleycorn and The Road represent more than an autobiography. They give us not only a look at who Jack London was, but also a first-hand account of the events that shaped who he would become. Complete and unabridged, this is the one book that every true Jack London fan and scholar must have.

For the first time, Russia's most renowned first-person narratives are collected in one volume.Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground, Nikolai Gogol's Diary of a Madman, Ivan Turgenev's Diary of a Superfluous Man, and Leo Tolstoy's Lucerne are all here. Produced between 1835 and 1864, these four works helped define Russia's Golden Age of Literature and established St. Petersburg as a literary mecca rivaled only by Paris in the 1920s. The stories in this volume all demonstrate, with deft mastery, a range of possibilities available in the first-person narrative form, setting a standard that future writers continue to admire and emulate today. These characters ache with an angst and ennui that was was all too common among the Russian intelligentsia during the rule of Nicholas I-feelings that ring true still today for anybody living under the heels of a repressive social structure. How they deal with those emotions, both as characters and as writers, provide lessons for us all.Complete and unabridged, with updated and revised translations, this is an essential volume for anyone interested in the best literature the world's greatest writers have to offer.
