Publisher's Summary
Unique to this title is:
- A study of the themes present in Lost Face (Including Other Short Stories)
You may of course skip it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.
Jack London was born in San Francisco in 1876, as John Griffith Chaney. He was an illegitimate child of Flora Wellman and William Chaney. When Chaney refused to marry Flora Wellman, she tried to kill herself. She survived, but refused to take care of the baby. So, London was raised by an African-American woman and a former slave. His mother later married a man named John London, and that is probably how his surname changed to London.
Lost Face (Including Other Short Stories) is a collection of seven short stories by Jack London. It takes its name from the first short story in the book, about a European adventurer in the Yukon who outwits his (American) Indian captors' plans to torture him. The book includes London's best-known short story, "To Build a Fire".
The seven stories are "Lost Face", "Trust", "To Build a Fire", "That Spot", "Flush of Gold", "The Passing of Marcus O’Brien", and the "Wit of Porportuk".
Enjoy this Timeless Classic!"
