Publisher's Synopsis
Jack London books by SeaWolf Press were selected for sale by the Jack London Museum.
A beautfiul version with the first edition cover and original frontispiece. This edition is part of the 100th Anniversary Collection honoring the 100th anniversary of Jack London's death in 1916. In his short 20-year career, he produced more than 50 books. The text and illustrations in this collection are taken from his early publications and the covers are replicas of the first edition covers. Fonts common 100 years ago are used--Century for the text and Bembo on the cover. The book's original format is matched as much as possible.
ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATION: A collection of six tales of life in Hawaii. Jack London traveled to Hawaii several times and wrote more about the islands and the South Pacific later in his career. He used these tales, and others, to describe the struggles and prejudices of races and classes around the start of the twentieth century. Besides the problems observed between lovers of different races, there is the constant clash between the white colonists and missionaries, and the native population.
