Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jack, Vol. 2
IN the middle of the forge, an immense hall-like room, imposing as a temple, where the daylight enters in yellow and luminous bars, and the shadows of the corners are suddenly illuminated by vivid ?ashes of red, an enormous piece of iron fastened to the ground, opens like some ever ravenous jaw, always in motion, seizing and press ing the red-hot metal fashioned by the hammer, amid a shower of sparks. This is the Screw.
