A prospector abandoned by his partner with a twisted ankle crawls across the barren lands toward the sea, shadowed by a sick wolf, in the title story. The other tales include “The Unexpected”, where a murder in a lonely Yukon cabin forces two settlers to hold their own trial, “Brown Wolf”, “The Story of Keesh”, “A Day’s Lodging” and “The Sun-Dog Trail”.
“Love of Life” is said to have been read to the dying Lenin; the collection is London at his starkest. Download the free EPUB.
