Published after his death, this short collection opens with London’s essay on the history of civilisation as a history of hungry peoples wandering sword in hand. It continues with Small-Boat Sailing, an account of driving four horses through the redwood country of northern California, a tribute to Dana’s Two Years Before the Mast, other sketches, and a short boxing play written for Robert Fitzsimmons.
A varied late gathering that shows London as thinker, sailor and storyteller. Download the free EPUB.
