Adventure

This antiquarian book contains Jack London's 1911 novel, "e;Adventure"e;. It tells the story of the relationship between a man who finds himself harassed by a group of cannibals on a plantation and a fierce, independent, and liberated woman who arrives at the plantation and changes everything. It is a hard-hitting exploration of slavery and colonialism set on the Solomon Islands, and was the cause of much controversy. An interesting and thought-provoking read, this text constitutes a must-have for fans of London's work, and is one not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters contained herein include: "e;Something to be Done"e;, "e;Something is Done"e;, "e;The Jessie"e;, "e;Joan Lackland"e;, "e;She Would a Planter Be"e;, "e;Tempest"e;, "e;A Hard-Bitten Gang"e;, "e;Local Colour"e;, "e;As Between a Man and Woman"e;, "e;A Message from Boucher"e;, etcetera.
