The first anthology of short stories by Jack London, Lost Face tells seven stories about the Klondike gold rush. In “Lost Face,” the fur thief Subienkow faces gruesome torture and execution by a tribe of Indians, armed with only his wits. “Trust” is a story about the dangers of the Yukon River. Jack London’s best known short story, “To Build a Fire,” tells the story of a nameless man and his dog attempting to survive in the frozen Northern Territory. In “That Spot,” the eponymous Spot is a very unusual Yukon sled dog. “Flush of Gold” is a love story set against the harsh backdrop of the Yukon. “The Passing of Marcus O’Brien” deals the tale of the fair-but-tough Judge Marcus O’Brien in the settlement of Red Cow. “The Wit of Porportuk” tells the tale of El-Soo and Porportuk, two Indians among the white settlers.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jack London

A biografia de Jack London (1876-1916) é tão prodigiosa como a obra que nos legou e que o tornaria mundialmente famoso: narrativas do alto-mar (O Cruzeiro do Snark, 1911) e de paisagens nevadas (O Filho do Lobo, 1900), viagens ao lado negro da sociedade industrial (O Povo do Abismo, 1903), entre errantes sem eira nem beira (Vagabundos Cruzando a Noite, 1907), uma fértil correspondência e textos autobiográficos, como Memórias de Um Alcoólico – John Barleycorn (1913). Uma das figuras mais românticas do seu tempo, autodidata e orador eloquente, foi também um homem dos mil ofícios: operário fabril na Califórnia, garimpeiro no Klondike e correspondente de guerra no Japão. Socialista convicto, aliou a sede de aventuras à fome de justiça social, e a coragem individual à defesa da solidariedade entre os homens.
