A vadon szava
A regény főhőse Buck, a bernáthegyi- és juhászkutya keverék, akit az északi aranybányászat megindulásakor álnok módon elrabolnak, és száz dollárért eladnak. Kegyetlen megpróbáltatások után kerül egy melegszívű, tisztességes aranybányászhoz, akinek megmenti az életét, és egy fogadás révén, melynek feltételeit Buck hősiesen teljesíti, komoly pénzösszeghez juttatja. Ehhez a gazdájához a kutya őszintén ragaszkodik, és amikor indiánok rajtaütnek és megölik, bosszút áll a gyilkosokon. Ezután enged a vadon hívásának, "a vadon szavának": beáll a farkasok közé. A szerző kegyetlen őszinteséggel tárja fel a regényben a folyamatot, ahogyan az ember a legjobb és a legrosszabb tulajdonságokat képes előhívni a hatalmában tartott állat természetéből. A vadon szava Jack London méltán legnépszerűbb regénye.

The Mod Lib Star Rover
The Star Rover is the story of San Quentin death-row inmate Darrell Standing, who escapes the horror of prison life--and long stretches in a straitjacket--by withdrawing into vivid dreams of past lives, including incarnations as a French nobleman and an Englishman in medieval Korea. Based on the life and imprisonment of Jack London's friend Ed Morrell, this is one of the author's most complex and original works. As Lorenzo Carcaterra argues in his Introduction, The Star Rover is "written with energy and force, brilliantly marching between the netherworlds of brutality and beauty." This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition, published in 1915.

The Classic Works of Jack London
From White Fang to The Iron Heel, The Call of the Wild to The People of the Abyss, London's novels are intense and atmospheric, and deserve their standing and reputation as some of the most exciting adventure stories ever put to paper. Jack London was highly qualified to be one of the 20th century's greatest writers of adventure stories, for he was one of its greatest adventurers. He was, to name but a few of his many occupations, an oyster pirate, government patrolman, seal hunter, gold prospector, war correspondent, landowner and tramp. From his vast and varied life experiences he drew inspiration for over fifty books in a literary career spanning only seventeen years. His work is remarkable, vivid and exciting, much like the author himself. From The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which rank as two of the best dog stories ever written, to the sea-based The Sea-Wolf and the social critiques of The People of the Abyss and The Iron Heel, Jack London's variety of work, not to mention the sheer quality, place him at the forefront of 20th century classic fiction.
