Dva z najznámejších a najobľúbenejších Londonových románov v jednom zväzku - Volanie divočiny prvý raz vyšiel roku 1903. Rozpráva o osude psa Bucka, ktorého v čase zlatej horúčky na rieke Klondike uniesli z domova a predali ako záprahového psa na Aljašku. Buck je nútený prispôsobiť sa tvrdému zaobchádzaniu ľudí a prežiť v podmienkach drsnej klímy. Spolieha sa na vrodené inštinkty a napokon sa v divočine stane vodcom. V próze Biely tesák (publikovanej časopisecky roku 1906) je hlavnou postavou kríženec psa a vlka, čo prv ako ho skrotia, prežije značné utrpenie v nehostinnej prírode Aljašky. Oba romány sú pretkané strhujúcimi opismi, akými autor predstavuje život z inej ako ľudskej perspektívy.

Martin Eden
Martin Eden (1909) is a novel by American author Jack London, about a struggling young writer.This book is a favorite among writers, who relate to Martin Eden's speculation that when he mailed off a manuscript, 'there was no human editor at the other end, but a mere cunning arrangement of cogs that changed the manuscript from one envelope to another and stuck on the stamps,' returning it automatically with a rejection slip.While some readers believe there is some resemblance between them, an important difference between Jack London and Martin Eden is that Martin Eden rejects socialism (attacking it as 'slave morality'), and relies on a Nietzschean individualism. In a note to Upton Sinclair, Jack London wrote, "One of my motifs, in this book, was an attack on individualism (in the person of the hero). I must have bungled, for not a single reviewer has discovered it."

London Estates: Modernist Council Housing 1946-1981
The most comprehensive photographic document of the once-utopian London council estate buildings
The UK’s landmark Housing Act of 1919 catalyzed the rapid development of state-owned public housing in planned council estates. Construction of these estates has largely ceased since the Thatcherist austerity policies of the ’80s. Fast-forward a few decades and the estates have met various fates; some council estates are now considered notorious, while others are arguably the most desirable places to live in London.
As the most comprehensive photographic document of the London council estates, this book features 275 estates from the City and every borough. A huge range of architectural styles are represented: from prefabricated and “self-built” schemes to Modernist and Brutalist designs, including over 30 protected historic buildings. There are designs from a broad range of architects, including Denys Lasdun, Erno Goldfinger, Basil Spence and many more. Kate Macintosh’s ziggurat-inspired Dawson’s Heights (1972) shares space with Chamberlin, Powell & Bon’s primary-colored tower Golden Lane Estate (1962). From the paltry to the posh, each estate possesses a fascinating history, and is emblematic of a distinct vision of urban planning. This book celebrates London council estates in all their diversity?championing the neglected alongside the distinguished, and honoring their immeasurable contribution to the social and architectural fabric of the capital.
