description: Charmian London ( 1871 – 1955) was an American writer and second wife of Jack London."The Book of Jack London" is the story of his life, which was as varied, as dramatic and as intense as his own works of fiction. The book is by his wife, Charmian London, the one person best fitted to write it. It is already something of a literary sensation. It is an extraordinary a biography that does not gloss over and prettify any of the facts of the subject's life. Here is Jack London himself, as he lived, rejoiced, suffered and thought. Includes many letters,In these two volumes we have the story of Jack London as we believe he himself would have wished it to be written. Mrs. London, his sympathetic comrade for eleven years, tells the story frankly and without apologies to any whose sensibilities may be affected. Largely, it is a tale of adventure, and it describes the life journey of one of the most brilliant writers of his generation.I THE STUFF OF THE STARSII BIRTHIII BOYHOODIV LIVERMORE VALLEYV BOYHOOD TO OAKLAND ESTUARY, SAILORING, ETC.VI CANNERY, BUYS SLOOP "RAZZLE DAZZLE" QUEEN OF THE OYSTER PIRATESVII OYSTER PIRATINGVIII FISH-PATROLIX "SOPHIE SUTHERLAND," SEALINGX AUTUMN INTO SPRING, 1893-1894—JUTE MILL; COAL SHOVELING; BOY-AND-GIRL LOVEXI TRAMPING—"THE ROAD"XII TRAMPINGXIII HIGH SCHOOLXIV AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIAXV INTO KLONDIKEXVI OUT OF KLONDIKEXVII RETURN FROM KLONDIKE—LILY MAID LETTERSXVIII THE CLOUDESLEY JOHNS CORRESPONDENCEXIX INTRODUCING ANNA STRUNSKY, AND JACK'S LETTERS TO HER; ALSO FURTHER CLOUDESLEY JOHNS LETTERSXX MARRIAGE TO ELIZABETH MADDERN; MORE LETTERSXXI CLOUDESLEY JOHNS AND ANNA STRUNSKYXXII 1902—PIEDMONTXXIII HOME FROM EUROPE; SEPARATIONXXIV JAPANESE-RUSSIAN WARVolume IIXXV RETURN FROM KOREA; DIVORCEXXVI "SPRAY" CRUISE; GLEN ELLEN FROM NAPA; HOSPITAL; SUMMER AT GLEN ELLENXXVII SECOND MARRIAGE; LECTURE TRIP; BOSTONXXVIII JAMAICA, CUBA, FLORIDA, NEW YORK CITYXXIX CHICAGO; RETURN TO OAKLAND, GLEN ELLEN; EARTHQUAKEXXX "SNARK" VOYAGEXXXI THE SNARK VOYAGE; TRAMP COLLIER TYMERIC" VOYAGE; ECUADOR; PANAMA; HOMEXXXII RETURN FROM "SNARK" VOYAGE; A DAUGHTER IS BORNXXXIII YACHT "ROAMER"XXXIV FOUR-HORSE DRIVING TRIP; NEW YORK CITYXXXV CAPE HORN VOYAGEXXXVI THE BAD YEAR; AGRICULTUREXXXVII NEW YORK; MEXICO; "ROAMER"XXXVIII "ROAMER"; RETURN To HAWAII; GLEN ELLEN; FORTIETH YEARXXXIX THE WAR; HAWAIIXL THE LAST SUMMERThis book originally published in 1921 has been reformatted for the Kindle and may contain an occasional defect from the Kindle or from the reformatting.
