All of the pieces are thought-provoking and excellently written, though only loosely intellectual, highly opinionated, and rife with contradiction, as was London himself.

Book excerpt: American journalism has its moments of fantastic hysteria, and when it is on the rampage the only thing for a rational man to do is to climb a tree and let the cataclysm go by. And so, some time ago, when the word nature-faker was coined, I, for one, climbed into my tree and stayed there. I happened to be in Hawaii at the time, and a Honolulu reporter elicited the sentiment from me that I thanked God I was not an authority on anything. This sentiment was promptly cabled to America in an Associated Press despatch, whereupon the American press (possibly annoyed because I had not climbed down out of my tree) charged me with paying for advertising by cable at a dollar per word — the very human way of the American press, which, when a man refuses to come down and be licked, makes faces at him

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American short story has always been characterized by exciting aesthetic innovations and an immense range of topics. This handbook offers students and researchers a comprehensive introduction to the multifaceted genre with a special focus on recent developments due to the rise of new media. Part I provides systematic overviews of significant contexts ranging from historical-political backgrounds, short story theories developed by writers, print and digital culture, to current theoretical approaches and canon formation. Part II consists of 35 paired readings of representative short stories by eminent authors, charting major steps in the evolution of the American short story from its beginnings as an art form in the early nineteenth century up to the digital age. The handbook examines historically, methodologically, and theoretically the coming together of the enduring narrative practice of compression and concision in American literature. It offers fresh and original readings relevant to studying the American short story and shows how the genre performs American culture.

Book excerpt: ▶ 영어고전1,288 잭 런던의 혁명 수필집 1906(English Classics1,288 Revolution, and Other Essays by Jack London)은 19세기 미국작가 잭 런던(Jack London, 1876~1916)의 논픽션과 에세이(Jack London‘s Non-Fiction and Essays)로 혁명(Revolution)부터 인생이 나에게 의미하는 것(What Life Means to Me)까지 총 13편의 짤막한 에세이로 구성되어 있습니다. 모험 소설가(Adventure Novelist)이자 동물소설가(Animal Novelist)로 명성을 날린 잭 런던이 30세에 발표한 청년기의 작품으로, 잭 런던표 희곡(Play by Jack London)에 관심이 있는 독자들에게 추천 드립니다. 테마여행신문 TTN Korea 영어고전(English Classics) 1,999선과 함께 어제도, 오늘도, 내일도 멋진 문학여행을! ▶ 19세기 미국에서 가장 미국적인 작가, 논픽션과 에세이(Jack London‘s Non-Fiction and Essays) 3부작!! : 잭 런던은 심연의 사람들 1903(The People Of The Abyss by Jack London)을 시작으로, 계급전쟁 1905(War Of The Classes by Jack London), 그리고 혁명 수필집 1906(Revolution, and Other Essays by Jack London)까지 생전에 최소 3권 이상의 논픽션과 에세이(Jack London‘s Non-Fiction and Essays)를 발표하였습니다. ▶ 목차(Index) I. 혁명(Revolution) II. 몽유병자(The Somnambulists) III. 달러의 품격(The Dignity of Dollars) IV. 골리야(Goliah) V. 황금 양귀비(The Golden Poppy) VI. 행성의 수축(The Shrinkage of the Planet) Ⅶ. 아름다운 집(The House Beautiful) Ⅷ. 북쪽의 황금 사냥꾼들(The Gold Hunters of the North) Ⅸ. 포마 고르디에프(Fomá Gordyéeff) X. 이 뼈들은 다시 일어서리라(These Bones shall Rise Again) XI. 다른 동물들(The Other Animals) XII. 노란 위험(The Yellow Peril) XIII. 인생이 나에게 의미하는 것(What Life Means to Me) ▶ REVOLUTION. This revolution is unlike all other revolutions in many respects. It is not sporadic. It is not a flame of popular discontent, arising in a day and dying down in a day. It is older than the present generation. It has a history and traditions, and a martyr-roll only less extensive possibly than the martyr-roll of Christianity. It has also a literature a myriad times more imposing, scientific, and scholarly than the literature of any previous revolution. ▷ 혁명. 이 혁명은 여러 면에서 다른 모든 혁명과 다릅니다. 산발적이지 않습니다. 그것은 하루아침에 일어났다가 하루아침에 사그라지는 대중적 불만의 불꽃이 아닙니다. 현 세대보다 나이가 많습니다. 그것은 역사와 전통을 가지고 있으며, 순교자 명단은 기독교의 순교자 명단보다 범위가 덜할 뿐입니다. 또한 이전 혁명의 문학보다 훨씬 더 인상적이고 과학적이고 학문적인 문학을 가지고 있습니다. ▶ THE SOMNAMBULISTS. The mightiest and absurdest sleep-walker on the planet! Chained in the circle of his own imaginings, man is only too keen to forget his origin and to shame that flesh of his that bleeds like all flesh and that is good to eat. Civilization (which is part of the circle of his imaginings) has spread a veneer over the surface of the soft-shelled animal known as man. It is a very thin veneer; but so wonderfully is man constituted that he squirms on his bit of achievement and believes he is garbed in armour-plate. ▷ 몽유병자. 지구상에서 가장 강력하고 터무니없는 몽유병자! 자신의 상상의 고리에 갇힌 인간은 자신의 기원을 잊어버리고 모든 육체처럼 피가 흐르고 먹기 좋은 자신의 육체를 부끄럽게 만드는 데 너무 열중합니다. 문명(그의 상상의 고리의 일부)은 인간으로 알려진 부드러운 껍질을 가진 동물의 표면에 베니어판을 펼쳤습니다. 매우 얇은 베니어입니다. 그러나 인간은 너무나 놀랍게 구성되어 있어서 자신의 성취에 대해 꿈틀대고 자신이 갑옷을 입었다고 믿습니다. ▶ THE DIGNITY OF DOLLARS. Man is a blind, helpless creature. He looks back with pride upon his goodly heritage of the ages, and yet obeys unwittingly every mandate of that heritage; for it is incarnate with him, and in it are embedded the deepest roots of his soul. Strive as he will, he cannot escape it—unless he be a genius, one of those rare creations to whom alone is granted the privilege of doing entirely new and original things in entirely new and original ways. ▷ 달러의 품격. 인간은 눈멀고 무력한 존재입니다. 그는 자신이 오랜 세월 동안 쌓아온 훌륭한 유산을 자랑스럽게 되돌아보지만, 자신도 모르게 그 유산의 모든 명령에 순종합니다. 왜냐하면 그것은 그분과 함께 성육신되었으며, 그 안에 그분 영혼의 가장 깊은 뿌리가 박혀 있기 때문입니다. 그가 원하는 대로 노력하더라도 그는 그것을 피할 수 없습니다. 그가 천재, 즉 완전히 새롭고 독창적인 방식으로 완전히 새롭고 독창적인 일을 할 수 있는 특권을 유일하게 부여받은 희귀한 창조물 중 하나가 아니라면 그는 그것을 피할 수 없습니다. ▶ THE SHRINKAGE OF THE PLANET. While much of the shrinkage to which the planet has been subjected is due to the increased knowledge of mathematics and physics, an equal, if not greater, portion may be ascribed to the perfection of the means of locomotion and communication. The enlargement of stellar space, demonstrating with stunning force the insignificance of the earth, has been negative in its effect; but the quickening of travel and intercourse, by making the earth’s parts accessible and knitting them together, has been positive. ▷ 지구의 수축. 행성이 축소된 대부분은 수학과 물리학에 대한 지식의 증가로 인한 것이지만, 더 크지는 않더라도 동등한 부분은 이동 및 의사소통 수단의 완성에 기인할 수 있습니다. 지구의 미미함을 놀랍도록 강력하게 보여주는 별 공간의 확장은 그 결과 부정적인 영향을 미쳤습니다. 그러나 땅의 부분에 접근할 수 있게 하고 서로 엮음으로써 여행과 성교가 활성화된 것은 긍정적이었습니다. ▶ 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) ▶ 영어고전1,288 잭 런던의 혁명 수필집 1906(English Classics1,288 Revolution, and Other Essays by Jack London) I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This splendid volume does more than reinstate Jack London as a leading voice of the American cultural left. Jonah Raskin documents how London struggled to reconcile his political and his personal desires, creating memorable art but failing to save himself. One of the world's most popular writers comes alive, in all his passion and agony."—Michael Kazin, author of A Godly Hero: The Life of William Jennings Bryan "Interest in Jack London never flags. This first-rate anthology places London at the epicenter of the American radical tradition."—Kevin Starr, University of Southern California "In this well conceptualized anthology, Jonah Raskin has resurrected works that have been unavailable for decades, making The Radical Jack London a very timely presence for the twenty-first century. Raskin's own writing is forceful and engaging, and he is unblinkingly honest about London as person and as writer, never succumbing to romanticizing or whitewashing the picture of either."—H. Bruce Franklin, John Cotton Dana Professor of English and American Studies, Rutgers University "Jack London always knew how to bang a righteous drum of social indignation, and in The Radical Jack London he can make your heart pound even today."—Paul Berman, author of Power and the Idealists and editor of Carl Sandburg: Selected Poems

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Author Under Sail: The Imagination of Jack London, 1902-1907, Jay Williams explores Jack London's necessity to illustrate the inner workings of his vast imagination. In this second installment of a three-volume biography, Williams captures the life of a great writer expressed though his many creative works, such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang, as well as his first autobiographical memoir, The Road, some of his most significant contributions to the socialist cause, and notable uncompleted works. During this time, London became one of the most famous authors in America, perhaps even the author with the highest earnings, as he prepared to become an equally famous international writer. Author Under Sail documents London's life in both a biographical and writerly fashion, depicting the importance of his writing experiences as his career followed a trajectory similar to America's from 1876 to 1916. The underground forces of London's narratives were shaped by a changing capitalist society, media outlets, racial issues, increases in women's rights, and advancements in national power. Williams factors in these elements while exploring London's deeply conflicted relationship with his own authorial inner life. In London's work, the imagination is figured as a ghost or as a ghostlike presence, and the author's personas, who form a dense population among his characters, are portrayed as haunted or troubled in some way. Along with examining the functions and works of London's exhaustive imagination, Williams takes a critical look at London's ability to tell his stories to wide arrays of audiences, stitching incidents together into coherent wholes so they became part of a raconteur's repertoire. Author Under Sail provides a multidimensional examination of the life of a crucial American storyteller and essayist.
Download or read book Jack London written by Kenneth K. Brandt and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack London (1876–1916) lived a life of excess by conventional standards. Daring, outspoken, politically radical, amazingly imaginative, and emotionally complicated, the author of literary classics such as The Call of the Wild and The Sea-Wolf emerges in Kenneth K. Brandt’s new biography as a vital and flawed embodiment of conflicting yearnings. London’s exuberant energies propelled him out of the working class to become a world-famous writer by the age of twenty-seven—after stints as a child laborer, an oyster pirate, a Pacific seaman, and a convict. He wrote extensively about his travels to Japan, the Yukon, the slums of London’s East End, Korea, Hawaii, and the South Seas. Swiftly paced, intellectually engaging, and richly dramatic, London’s writings—bolstered by their wildly clashing philosophical viewpoints derived from thinkers like Nietzsche, Marx, and Darwin—continue to engross readers with their depictions of primal urges, raw sensations, and reformist politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack London has long been recognized as one of the most colorful figures in American literature. He is Americas most widely translated author (into more than eighty languages), and although his works have been neglected until recently by academic critics in the United States, he is finally winning recognition as a major figure in American literary history. The breadth and depth of new critical study of Londons work in recent decades attest to his newfound respectability. London criticism has moved beyond a traditional concerns of realism and naturalism as well as beyond the timeworn biographical focus to engage such theoretical approaches as race, gender, class, post-structuralism, and new historicism. The range and intellectual energy of the essays collected here give the reader a new sense of Londons richness and variety, especially his treatment of diverse cultures. Having in the past focused more on Londons personal "world, we are now afforded an opportunity to look more closely at his art and the numerous worlds it uncovers.
