The Strength of the Strong( Illustrated Edition) by Jack London Pdf
From "The Strength of the Strong": Their heads were matted with uncut hair, long locks of which often strayed before their eyes, beady and black and glittering like the eyes of birds. They were narrow between the eyes and broad between the cheeks, while their lower jaws were projecting and massive. It was a night of clear starlight, and below them, stretching away remotely, lay range on range of forest-covered hills. In the distance the heavens were red from the glow of a volcano. At their backs yawned the black mouth of a cave, out of which, from time to time, blew draughty gusts of wind. Immediately in front of them blazed a fire. At one side, partly devoured, lay the carcass of a bear, with about it, at a respectable distance, several large dogs, shaggy and wolflike. Beside each man lay his bow and arrows and a huge club. In the cave-mouth a number of rude spears leaned against the rock. . . . Also included in this volume are, "South of the Slot," "The Unparalleled Invasion," "The Enemy of All the World," "The Dream of Debs," "The Sea-Farmer," and "Samuel."

They laughed boisterously, like big children, at recollection of a previous story hiswords called up. Long-Beard laughed, too, the five-inch bodkin of bone, thrustmidway through the cartilage of his nose, leaping and dancing and adding to hisferocious appearance. He did not exactly say the words recorded, but he madeanimal-like sounds with his mouth that meant the same thing."And that is the first I remember of the Sea Valley," Long-Beard went on. "We werea very foolish crowd. We did not know the secret of strength. For, behold, eachfamily lived by itself, and took care of itself. There were thirty families, but we gotno strength from one another. We were in fear of each other all the time. No oneever paid visits. In the top of our tree we built a grass house, and on the platform 4outside was a pile of rocks, which were for the heads of any that might chance totry to visit us. Also, we had our spears and arrows. We never walked under the treesof the other families, either. My brother did, once, under old Boo-oogh's tree, andhe got his head broken and that was the end of him."Old Boo-oogh was very strong. It was said he could pull a grown man's head rightoff. I never heard of him doing it, because no man would give him a chance. Fatherwouldn't. One day, when father was down on the beach, Boo-oogh took aftermother. She couldn't run fast, for the day before she had got her leg clawed by abear when she was up on the mountain gathering berries. So Boo-oogh caught herand carried her up into his tree. Father never got her back. He was afraid. Old Boooogh made faces at him."But father did not mind. Strong-Arm was another strong man. He was one of thebest fishermen. But one day, climbing after sea-gull eggs, he had a fall from the cliff.He was never strong after that. He coughed a great deal, and his shoulders drewnear to each other. So father took Strong-Arm's wife. When he came around andcoughed under our tree, father laughed at him and threw rocks at him. It was ourway in those days. We did not know how to add strength together and becomestrong.""Would a brother take a brother's wife?" Deer-Runner demanded.

Jack London was one of the most prolific American writers of the early 20th century, and remains one of the most beloved, but while his novels have remained continuously in print for a century, his short stories have been much harder to find. This varied and eclectic collection shows many of his concerns and interests: the lives of the indigenous people of America, man's struggle agaianst nature, his sympathy and compassion for the poor, and his predilection for writing stories set in a dystopian future.
