Included in this lot is "The Son of the Wolf" by Jack London. This book is a first edition, second printing. The first printing only included 2,028 copies and had a comma after '1900' on the Copyright page, which was later corrected. Although Jack London wrote on a great variety of subjects, he gained his first and most lasting fame as the author of tales of the Klondike gold rush. At the age of 21, London himself had trekked to the Yukon in hope of easy riches. What he found instead was a wealth of extraordinary experience, which he turned to account in his first collection of stories, “The Son of the Wolf: Tales of the Far North”. The book centers on the exploits of Malamute Kid, who dispenses crude but unerring justice through his canny understanding of the minds and hearts of the people of this raw frontier territory. They act out their dramas of life and death in mining camps and on the Long Trail, against the backdrop of the frozen Northland. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the unsuspected qualities of exceptional women and the complex relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes. This book is in good condition, having been rebound with a new cover. The book was published in 1900 by The Riverside Press in Cambridge. The book measures 7 1/4" by 5".
