Some of the essays are: - Revolution: a story on capitalism's flaws and how everything will be flawless after one socialist revolution. - The Somnambulists: an essay about how we lose touch with our true nature and deceive ourselves about our motivations and moral standards. The honest effort of prizefighters is contrasted with the untruthful exploitation of forced child labor. - The Dignity of Dollars: an essay about how powerful the money in your pocket is. As it makes you more honorable. - Goliah: a story of a man who has become so powerful that he can push the world towards becoming a Utopia. He defines his acts as socialism, a centralized economy, gov't restrictions on who can produce offspring, and re-education camps for those who may not agree. - The Shrinkage of the Planet: an essay on how the world appears to be shrinking as a result of speedier communication and transportation - The House Beautiful: a beautiful dream of building a house-boat no one has ever built...

Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Revolution, and Other Essays by Jack London.The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.--Revolution - The somnambulists - The dignity of dollars - Goliah - The golden poppy - The shrinkage of the planet - The house beautiful - The gold hunters of the North - Fomá Gordyéeff - These bones shall rise again - The others animals - The yellow peril - What life means to me .--Although best known for his adult fiction, Jack London wrote in almost every available corner, from verses to first-person research on the plight of the poor, from biographies to essays. A self-proclaimed socialist, London was very consistent in his views unlike many of his fellow writers. This is one of his less well received writing collections and perhaps one of the best.

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

Book excerpt: John Claverhouse was a moon-faced man. You know the kind, cheek-bones wideapart, chin and forehead melting into the cheeks to complete the perfect round, and the nose, broad and pudgy, equidistant from the circumference, flattenedagainst the very centre of the face like a dough-ball upon the ceiling. Perhaps thatis why I hated him, for truly he had become an offense to my eyes, and I believedthe earth to be cumbered with his presence. Perhaps my mother may have beensuperstitious of the moon and looked upon it over the wrong shoulder at the wrongtime.Be that as it may, I hated John Claverhouse. Not that he had done me whatsociety would consider a wrong or an ill turn. Far from it. The evil was of a deeper, subtler sort; so elusive, so intangible, as to defy clear, definite analysis in words. Weall experience such things at some period in our lives. For the first time we see acertain individual, one who the very instant before we did not dream existed; andyet, at the first moment of meeting, we say: "I do not like that man." Why do we notlike him? Ah, we do not know why; we know only that we do not. We have taken adislike, that is all. And so I with John Claverhouse.What right had such a man to be happy? Yet he was an optimist. He was alwaysgleeful and laughing. All things were always all right, curse him! Ah I how it gratedon my soul that he should be so happy! Other men could laugh, and it did notbother me. I even used to laugh myself-before I met John Claverhouse.But his laugh! It irritated me, maddened me, as nothing else under the sun couldirritate or madden me. It haunted me, gripped hold of me, and would not let me go.It was a huge, Gargantuan laugh. Waking or sleeping it was always with me, whirring and jarring across my heart-strings like an enormous rasp. At break of dayit came whooping across the fields to spoil my pleasant morning revery. Under theaching noonday glare, when the green things drooped and the birds withdrew tothe depths of the forest, and all nature drowsed, his great "Ha! ha!" and "Ho! ho!"rose up to the sky and challenged the sun. And at black midnight, from the lonelycross-roads where he turned from town into his own place, came his plagueycachinnations to rouse me from my sleep and make me writhe and clench my nailsinto my pal

Download or read book Jack London American Rebel written by Jack London and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jack London's adventure novels and stories made him one of America's most popular writers. Less known, however, is the role he played of social critic and spokesman for the oppressed. In this book, Philip S. Foner presents the career of the popular novelist with emphasis on his social ideas and activities. This biography is based on a careful analysis of London's novels, short stories, and essays, as well as his letters and interviews with him that appeared in the contemporary press. While pointing out London's contributions to the labor and Socialist movements of his day, it does not ignore the weaknesses and defects of his philosophy--in particular, his racist concepts. At the same time, it makes clear that these weaknesses did not totally destroy his effectiveness as a social critic. Jack London: American rebel draws an exciting and thought-provoking picture of the man and his times."--Page 4 of cover.
