Zbi�r kr�tkich nowel Jacka Londona to przepiękne, pełne fascynacji kobietami opowieści o wspaniałych przedstawicielkach płci na pewno pięknej i na pewno nie słabej. Przebija z kart tych opowiadań tęsknota autora za miłością, jego zauroczenie niezwykłymi charakterami mieszkanek P�łnocy, kt�re zmagać się tam musiały nie tylko z trudnymi charakterami mężczyzn i białych, i czerwonosk�rych, ale i ekstremalnymi warunkami przyrody. Przyrody pięknej, jednak stawiającej człowiekowi bardzo trudne warunki, ale jednocześnie przyciągającej i zniewalającej swoim urokiem, tak jak potrafią to czynić kobiety.Widać w sposobie, w jaki London opowiada o Jukatanie czy szerzej: o Alasce jego oczarowanie tą krainą. I spotkanie na kartach tej książki piękna kobiet z pięknem P�łnocy sprawia, że Czytelnik daje się porwać narracji pisarza.

Jacka Londona miłośnikom literatury przygodowej przedstawiać nie trzeba. Na jego książkach wychowały się pokolenia młodych ludzi marzących o przygodach, kt�re były udziałem tego niezwykłego człowieka.Kim był? Przede wszystkim korespondentem wojennym, reporterem, ale też... kłusownikiem, marynarzem, poszukiwaczem złota. Wiele z jego przeżyć można znaleźć na kartach jego opowiadań i powieści.Ta Przed Adamem powstała w tym samym 1906 roku, w kt�rym napisał on sławny Biały Kieł. Nakreślił swoją wizję świata dopiero się tworzącego, świata organizujących się społeczeństw i relacji międzyludzkich. Lekkie pi�ro, jego znak charakterystyczny, powoduje, że czyta się tę w pewnym sensie reporterską relację z wypiekami na twarzy. Relację z wydarzeń zapewne przed Adamem, ale niewątpliwie już z... Ewą, choć w tamtych czasach przed czasami nie było jeszcze wśr�d praludzi jak pisze London imion, bo nie było jeszcze sł�w... Barwne opisy obyczaj�w naszych antenat�w tak jak je sobie wyobrażał autor skłaniają do zastanowienia, czy teraz, w XXI wieku, nie wracamy, niestety, do tamtych czas�w...Trzeba przeczytać tę książkę, tym bardziej że jest to pierwsze od 1957 roku polskie wydanie.

Zbiór dziesięciu kapitalnych opowiadań Jacka Londona, w których przeważają te z dalekiej północy, dotyczące życia dzikich plemion północy lub Indian (Biała cisza, Choroba samotnego wodza, Historia Jees-Uck, Kobieta z plemienia Siwasz, Li-wan o jasnej skórze, Małżonka króla).

Dobrodziejstwo wątpliwości to opowiadanie o charakter humorystycznym (czyli o sądowym domniemaniu niewinności), natomiast w Marzeniu Debsa mamy do czynienia z wizją strajku generalnego w Stanach Zjednoczonych i pokazaniem jaki może być jego efekt.

This nonfiction work by Jack London, written after three months in London's East End, reveals the harsh realities faced by the impoverished in one of the wealthiest nations. Influenced by Friedrich Engels and Jacob Riis, London aimed to shed light on the indignities suffered by those marginalized by industrialization. In 1902, he immersed himself in the slums, living in workhouses, sleeping on the streets, and staying with a poor family to understand the working-class experience. Drawing from his own background and socialist beliefs, he documented the struggles of the city's poor, illustrating how many were left behind in the march toward modernization. Upon its release, the work received both popular and critical acclaim, inspiring George Orwell to explore poverty and urban life in his own writings. While London is often celebrated for his fiction, his journalistic skills and firsthand experiences as a traveler and worker enabled him to portray the harshness of impoverished life with empathy and a call for change.
