Description: London: Thomas Nelson & Sons, 1911. True first edition, preceding Macmillan's American first by about a month. BAL 11928; Sisson & Martens p 53. 7.4" x 5.25"Octavo, 376 + viii ad pp. Green cloth, spine lettered in gilt against white background; decorative endpapers. Frontispiece illustration. Notoriously fragile white enamel spine panel is chipped, but approx. 70% remains, including all behind the gilt lettering. Minor spine lean, light soiling and rubbing to covers and edges, old bookseller's pricing on rear pastedown. Bright spine gilt. Very Good. Please see scans. Scarce true first edition copy of Jack London at his adventuring best - and racist worst. While his prodigious output (his personal rule was to write at least 1,000 words every day) spanned many genre and fields, London is most beloved for his adventure yarns, such as this tale of trials and tribulations in the Solomon Island jungles and the seas between. Unfortunately, London, an enlightened dreamweaver in some respects, was not that in all; his depiction of Solomon Island natives as subhuman killing machines will curl the hair of all but the least PC modern day readers.
