xvii, 278 pp. CONTENTS: The Class Struggle; The Tramp; The Scab; The Question of the Maximum; A Review; Wanted: A New Law of Development; How I Became a Socialist. "A classic non-fiction work which describes the struggle for survival by the working class during Jack London's day and age." "London grew up in poverty, earning a living through various legal and illegal means. He was a sailor and took part in the Klondike gold rush. The Call of the Wild, the classic story of sled-dog Buck brought him instant celebrity and established his readership to this day. Self-educated, London was heavily influenced by the works of Darwin, Marx, and Nietzsche. This, along with his earlier experiences converted him to socialism as he explains in this volume."
