Book excerpt: ▶ 영어고전1,273 잭 런던의 긍지의 집과 하와이 이야기 1912(English Classics1,273 The House of Pride, and Other Tales of Hawaii by Jack London)는 19세기 미국작가 잭 런던(Jack London, 1876~1916)의 단편 소설 컬렉션(Collection of Short Stories)으로 긍지의 집 1912(The House of Pride)부터 잭 런던에 의한 잭 런던 1913(Jack London By Himself)까지 총 7편의 작품으로 구성되어 있습니다. 모험 소설가(Adventure Novelist)이자 동물소설가(Animal Novelist)로 명성을 날린 잭 런던이 36세의 청년 시절 발표한 컬렉션으로, 잭 런던표 단편 소설(Short Stories by Jack London)에 관심이 있는 독자들에게 추천 드립니다. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! ▶ 목차(Index) I. 긍지의 집(The House of Pride) II. 나병환자 쿨라우(Koolau the Leper) III. 안녕, 잭(Good-bye, Jack) IV. 알로하 오에(Aloha Oe) V. 춘 아 춘(Chun Ah Chun) VI. 코나의 보안관(The Sheriff of Kona) Ⅶ. 잭 런던에 의한 잭 런던(Jack London By Himself) ▶ 긍지의 집(The House of Pride) : Percival Ford wondered why he had come. He did not dance. He did not care much for army people. Yet he knew them all—gliding and revolving there on the broad lanai of the Seaside, the officers in their fresh-starched uniforms of white, the civilians in white and black, and the women bare of shoulders and arms. After two years in Honolulu the Twentieth was departing to its new station in Alaska, and Percival Ford, as one of the big men of the Islands, could not help knowing the officers and their women. ▷ 퍼시벌 포드는 그가 왜 왔는지 궁금해 했습니다. 그는 춤을 추지 않았습니다. 그는 군인들에게 별로 관심이 없었습니다. 그러나 그는 해변의 넓은 베란다에서 활공하고 회전하는 사람들, 갓 풀을 먹인 흰색 제복을 입은 장교들, 흰색과 검은색 옷을 입은 민간인들, 어깨와 팔이 드러나지 않은 여성들 등을 모두 알고 있었습니다. 호놀룰루에서 2년을 보낸 후 제20대 제20대는 알래스카의 새로운 기지로 출발했고, 섬의 거물 중 한 명인 퍼시벌 포드는 장교들과 그들의 여자들을 알지 않을 수 없었습니다. ▶ 나병환자 쿨라우(Koolau the Leper) : “Because we are sick they take away our liberty. We have obeyed the law. We have done no wrong. And yet they would put us in prison. Molokai is a prison. That you know. Niuli, there, his sister was sent to Molokai seven years ago. He has not seen her since. Nor will he ever see her. She must stay there until she dies. This is not her will. It is not Niuli’s will. It is the will of the white men who rule the land. And who are these white men? ▷ “우리가 아프기 때문에 그들은 우리의 자유를 빼앗아갑니다. 우리는 법을 준수했습니다. 우리는 잘못한 것이 없습니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 그들은 우리를 감옥에 가두려고 했습니다. 몰로카이는 감옥입니다. 당신도 알고 있는 것입니다. 니울리, 거기 그의 여동생은 7년 전에 몰로카이로 보내졌습니다. 그는 그 이후로 그녀를 보지 못했습니다. 그도 그녀를 볼 수 없을 것이다. 그녀는 죽을 때까지 그곳에 머물러야 합니다. 이것은 그녀의 뜻이 아닙니다. 그것은 니울리의 뜻이 아닙니다. 이 땅을 지배하는 것은 백인들의 의지입니다. 그러면 이 백인들은 누구입니까? ▶ 안녕, 잭(Good-bye, Jack) : Hawaii is a queer place. Everything socially is what I may call topsy-turvy. Not but what things are correct. They are almost too much so. But still things are sort of upside down. The most ultra-exclusive set there is the “Missionary Crowd.” It comes with rather a shock to learn that in Hawaii the obscure martyrdom-seeking missionary sits at the head of the table of the moneyed aristocracy. ▷ 하와이는 이상한 곳이에요. 사회적으로 모든 것은 내가 뒤죽박죽이라고 부를 수 있는 것입니다. 아니라 어떤 것이 맞는지. 그들은 거의 너무 많습니다. 하지만 여전히 상황은 거꾸로 되어 있습니다. 가장 독점적인 세트는 "선교사 군중"입니다. 하와이에서 순교를 추구하는 무명의 선교사가 부유한 귀족의 상석에 앉아 있다는 사실은 오히려 충격적입니다. ▶ 잭 런던에 의한 잭 런던(Jack London By Himself) : I was born in San Francisco in 1876. At fifteen I was a man among men, and if I had a spare nickel I spent it on beer instead of candy, because I thought it was more manly to buy beer. Now, when my years are nearly doubled, I am out on a hunt for the boyhood which I never had, and I am less serious than at any other time of my life. Guess I’ll find that boyhood! Almost the first things I realized were responsibilities. I have no recollection of being taught to read or write—I could do both at the age of five—but I know that my first school was in Alameda before I went out on a ranch with my folks and as a ranch boy worked hard from my eighth year. ▷ 저는 1876년 샌프란시스코에서 태어났습니다. 열다섯 살 때, 저는 남자들 중 한 명이었고, 남는 니켈이 있다면, 맥주를 사는 것이 더 남자답다고 생각했기 때문에 사탕 대신 맥주를 구입하는데 사용했습니다. 이제, 제 나이가 두 배 가까이 되었을 때, 저는 한 번도 겪지 않았던 소년 시절을 찾아 나섰고, 제 인생의 그 어느 때보다 덜 진지합니다. 제가 그 소년 시절을 찾을 것이라고 추측합니다! 제가 깨달은 거의 첫 번째 것은 책임이었습니다. 다섯 살 때 둘 다 할 수 있었던, 읽기와 쓰기를 배운 기억은 없지만, 저는 제가 가족들과 목장으로 나가기 전, 그리고 목장 소년으로서 8학년 때부터 열심히 일하기 전, 저의 첫 학교는 알라메다에 있었다는 것을 알고 있습니다. ▶ 프롤로그(Prologue). 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선을 읽어야 하는 7가지 이유 ▶ 15가지 키워드로 읽는 잭 런던(Jack London, 1876~1916) 01. 미국 종군기자(War Correspondent) 출신 소설가 02. 미다스의 노예들(The Minions of Midas, 1901) 03. 야생의 부름(The Call of the Wild, 1903) 04. 바다 늑대(The Sea-Wolf, 1904) 05. 흰 송곳니, 화이트 팽(White Fang, 1906) 06. 스테이크 한 장(A Piece of Steak, 1909) 07. 존 발리콘(John Barleycorn, 1913) : 분홍 코끼리를 보다(Seeing Pink Elephants) 08. 섬의 제리(Jerry of the Islands: A True Dog Story, 1917) 09. 공상과학소설(Science Fiction) 10. 잭 런던 르뽀 - 조선사람 엿보기(La Corée en feu - Jack London reports, 1982) 11. 美 우정국 위대한 미국인 기념 우표 시리즈(Great Americans Series Postage Stamp, 1986) 12. 잭 런던을 만나다 TOP10(TOP10 Places of Jack London) 13. 잭 런던 원작의 영화·드라마(Movie and Drama of Jack London in IMDb and Wikipedia) 14. 오디오북으로 듣는 잭 런던(Audio Books of Jack London) 15. 잭 런던의 어록 309선(309 Quotes of Jack London) ▶ 영어고전1,273 잭 런던의 긍지의 집과 하와이 이야기 1912(English Classics1,273 The House of Pride, and Other Tales of Hawaii by Jack London) I.

After two years in Honolulu the Twentieth was departing to its new station in Alaska, and Percival Ford, as one of the big men of the Islands, could not help knowing the officers and their women. But between knowing and liking was a vast gulf. The army women frightened him just a little. They were in ways quite different from the women he liked best-the elderly women, the spinsters and the bespectacled maidens, and the very serious women of all ages whom he met on church and library and kindergarten committees, who came meekly to him for contributions and advice.

Book excerpt: Jack London is best known for his stories about Alaska, but I was happy to learn on a recent trip to Hawaii that he also wrote a book of Hawaiian stories. For years now, it has been a habit of mine to seek out literature written by someone from the place I am traveling or in lieu of that, written about the place I am traveling. In Ecuador, I had an impossible time finding any translated Ecuadorian literature. In Argentina, I discovered one of my favorite authors, Cesar Aira. In India, I read Salman Rushdie. For Hawaii, my choices were more limited than I expected. I couldn't read the Descendants because I just saw the movie and I was not up for Paterson's 600 page epic. London's collection enticed me as I always loved Call of the Wild and hadn't read anything else by him.The book takes place in a Hawaii of another time, the early part of the 20th century, and deals with historic issues that probably still affect the culture to this day. Each tale builds on the theme of the last so that the reader is able to gain a broader and broader perspective of the era.The first story, "House of Pride," shows the animosity that some haoles (white people) of the missionary class had toward the local natives, particularly a sense of superiority (big surprise). The next story, "Koolau the Leper," is based on a true story about how lepers were forced into quarantine in Molokai, many against their will. One of my favorite stories is, "Goodbye, Jack," beautifully written from the perspective of a young mainland woman who visits the island with her father and doesn't realize that the man she has been spending time with is in love with her until her boat is leaving port to return home. In the same moment, she realizes, not only her requited love for him, but the reason he never told her, because he is a "half-caste," and would never be accepted by her father. London has a beautiful way of unveiling this young and tragic love.In the story, "Chin ah Chun," a Chinese immigrant comes to Hawaii as an indentured servant, but soon makes his fortune with good business dealings. It's a good story if you can stomach the character being referred to as a coolie (which continuously annoyed me). The last story, "The Sherriff of Kona," served to tie all the other stories together in conversation topics- lepers, love, half-castes, missionaries and immigrants.I gained a tremendous amount of insight into the culture of Hawaii from reading a book of short stories written a hundred years earlier. Humans are not quick to let go of our history, especially when it is a traumatic one. Hawaii is at once completely different from London's time there, and so much still the same.

A departure from London's normal tales of the frozen North, all of these tales take place in the islands of Hawaii. "Never are there such departures as from the dock at Honolulu. The great transport lay with steam up, ready to pull out. A thousand persons were on her decks; five thousand stood on the wharf. Up and down the long gangway passed native princes and princesses, sugar kings and the high officials of the Territory. Beyond, in long lines, kept in order by the native police, were the carriages and motor-cars of the Honolulu aristocracy. On the wharf the Royal Hawaiian Band played "Aloha Oe," and when it finished, a stringed orchestra of native musicians on board the transport took up the same sobbing strains, the native woman singer's voice rising birdlike above the instruments and the hubbub of departure." -- From "Aloha Oe."

He did not care much for army people. Yet he knew them all-gliding and revolving there on the broad lanai of the Seaside, the officers in their fresh-starched uniforms of white, the civilians in white and black, and the women bare of shoulders and arms. After two years in Honolulu the Twentieth was departing to its new station in Alaska, and Percival Ford, as one of the big men of the Islands, could not help knowing the officers and their women. But between knowing and liking was a vast gulf. The army women frightened him just a little. They were in ways quite different from the women he liked best-the elderly women, the spinsters and the bespectacled maidens, and the very serious women of all ages whom he met on church and library and kindergarten committees, who came meekly to him for contributions and advice. He ruled those women by virtue of his superior mentality, his great wealth, and the high place he occupied in the commercial baronage of Hawaii. And he was not afraid of them in the least. Sex, with them, was not obtrusive. Yes, that was it. There was in them something else, or more, than the assertive grossness of life. He was fastidious he acknowledged that to himself and these army women, with their bare shoulders and naked arms, their straight-looking eyes, their vitality and challenging femaleness, jarred upon his sensibilities. Nor did he get on better with the army men, who took life lightly, drinking and smoking and swearing their way through life and asserting the essential grossness of flesh no less shamelessly than their women. He was always uncomfortable in the company of the army men. They seemed uncomfortable, too. And he felt, always, that they were laughing at him up their sleeves, or pitying him, or tolerating him. Then, too, they seemed, by mere contiguity, to emphasize a lack in him, to call attention to that in them which he did not possess and which he thanked God he did not possess. Faugh! They were like their women! In fact, Percival Ford was no more a woman's man than he was a man's man. A glance at him told the reason. He had a good constitution, never was on intimate terms with sickness, nor even mild disorders but he lacked vitality. His was a negative organism. No blood with a ferment in it could have nourished and shaped that long and narrow face, those thin lips, lean cheeks, and the small, sharp eyes. The thatch of hair, dust-coloured, straight and sparse, advertised the niggard soil, as did the nose, thin, delicately modelled, and just hinting the suggestion of a beak. His meagre blood had denied him much of life, and permitted him to be an extremist in one thing only, which thing was righteousness. Over right conduct he pondered and agonized, and that he should do right was as necessary to his nature as loving and being loved were necessary to commoner clay.
