Collected Jack London, The: Thirty-Six Stories, Four Complete Novels, A Memoir by Jack London, Steven J. Kasdin (Editor); 1991. Hardcover.

In this, the first fully-rounded collection of his work, we find Jack London at his best. It has been said that his greatest artistic creation was his own life, and this outstanding anthology presents a many sided view of this brilliant and controversial American writer. Included here are the finest and best known of his stories and novels, but also included here are the autobiographical works that show the seldom-seen Jack London, the man.

Divided into 3 sections, this collection opens with The North, which includes the best of his early stories. The second section, The Man contains two unabridged books: the Autobiographical novel Martin Eden and the memoir John Barleycorn. The third section has fifteen tales showing London's passions and red-blooded energy of people far from the civilizing order of home.
