The five notable novels from Jack London are collected in this volume for the adventurer in everyone. The Call of the Wild, Jack London s second novel, made him truly famous. Published without any great expectations for commercial success, the story of the pet dog turned wolf pack leader became a huge bestseller. White Fang, like The Call of the Wild, explores the theme of contrast between civilization and savagery when a wild wolf cub is brought up by humans only to become a champion fighting dog. The Game revolves around boxing, London s favorite sport. Joe Fleming is a prize fighter and, on the eve of his wedding, his fiancĂ(c)e agrees to watch his last ever fight. The Scarlet Plague, first published in 1912, tells of a disease that wipes out most of the world s population in 2012. The story is set 60 years later as one of the survivors attempts to pass on a lifetime of wisdom and experience to his grandsons. The Star Rover is a prison tale in which the main character endures torture sessions by entering a trance-like state, when he walks among the stars and experiences past lives.
