This antiquarian book contains Jack London’s 1911 novel, 'Adventure'. It tells the story of the relationship between a man who finds himself harassed by a group of cannibals on a plantation and a fierce, independent, and liberated woman who arrives at the plantation and changes everything. It is a hard-hitting exploration of slavery and colonialism set on the Solomon Islands, and was the cause of much controversy. An interesting and thought-provoking read, this text constitutes a must-have for fans of London’s work, and is one not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters contained herein include: 'Something to be Done', 'Something is Done', 'The Jessie', 'Joan Lackland', 'She Would a Planter Be', 'Tempest', 'A Hard-Bitten Gang', 'Local Colour', 'As Between a Man and Woman', 'A Message from Boucher', etcetera. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
