Description
Perhaps Jack London's most overlooked work, this riveting novel is also a fierce indictment of prison life, with a new Condemned to death row, Professor Darrell Standing looks back on his life and reflects on its meaning, in this spellbinding novel of prison corruption and the catharsis that comes from escaping it even if only in one's head. This Modern Library version of Jack London's final novel also contains a reading group guide and the text is taken from the authoritative edition
