To Build a Fire and Other Stories by Jack London
ByPublisher Description
"To Build a Fire and Other Stories" was originally published by Jack London as "Lost Face." It is a collection of his early short stories about life, survival and (occasionally) death in the harsh, arctic wilderness of North America, a setting London returned to over and over again in his books and stories.
By the time London published this collection in 1910, he was already a best-selling author, with three of his previous novels - "Call of the Wild," "The Sea Wolf" and "White Fang" - selling tens of thousands of copies a year and establishing London as the premiere adventure writer of his era.
While the collection was enormously popular, the story "To Build a Fire" was a particular standout and has gone on to become one of London't most cited and admired works. The collection is presented here as it was originally published, complete and unabridged.
