THE CALL OF THE WILD:
With illustrations by Philip R. Goodwin and Charles Livingston Bull.
Decorated by Charles Edward Hooper.
“A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the
construction ... a wonderfully perfect bit of work. The dog adventures
are as exciting as any man’s exploits could be, and Mr. London’s
workmanship is wholly satisfying.”—_The New York Sun._
THE SEA WOLF: Illustrated by W. J. Aylward.
“This story surely has the pure Stevenson ring, the adventurous
glamour, the vertebrate stoicism. ’Tis surely the story of the making
of a man, the sculptor being Captain Larsen, and the clay, the
ease-loving, well-to-do, half-drowned man, to all appearances his
helpless prey.”—_Critic._
THE PEOPLE OF THE ABYSS:
A vivid and intensely interesting picture of life, as the author found
it, in the slums of London. Not a survey of impressions formed on a
slumming tour, but a most graphic account of real life from one who
succeeded in getting on the “inside.” More absorbing than a novel. A
great and vital book. Profusely illustrated from photographs.
THE SON OF THE WOLF:
“Even the most listless reader will be stirred by the virile force, the
strong, sweeping strokes with which the pictures of the northern wilds
and the life therein are painted, and the in-sight given into the soul
of the primitive of nature.”—_Plain Dealer, Cleveland._
A DAUGHTER OF THE SNOWS:
It is a book about a woman, whose personality and plan in the story
are likely to win for her a host of admirers. The story has the rapid
movement, incident and romantic flavor which have interested so many in
his tales. The illustrations are by F. C. Yohn.
THE JUNGLE, BY UPTON SINCLAIR:
A book that startled the world and caused two hemispheres to sit up
and think. Intense in interest, the dramatic situations portrayed
enthrall the reader, while its evident realism and truth to life and
conditions have gained for it the title of “The ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ of
the Twentieth Century.”
