It makes their books completely unreadable. How is this book unique? Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated The House of Pride, and Other Tales of Hawaii by Jack London "Originally published in 1912, this collection contains six stories:- The House of Pride- Koolau the Leper- Good-bye, Jack- Aloha Oe- Chun Ah Chun- The Sheriff of KonaA departure from London's normal tales of the frozen North, all of these tales take place in the islands of Hawaii. Many of these stories deal with leprosy and the victims of this disease being sent away to Molokai. Some of the stories also deal with class differences, some of which still exist in one form or another in today's society. All the stories are very well written and thought provoking. These short stories about the conflict between the native Hawaiians and the European settlers vividly capture the struggles of the early 20th century."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack London has long been recognized as one of the most colorful figures in American literature. He is Americas most widely translated author (into more than eighty languages), and although his works have been neglected until recently by academic critics in the United States, he is finally winning recognition as a major figure in American literary history. The breadth and depth of new critical study of Londons work in recent decades attest to his newfound respectability. London criticism has moved beyond a traditional concerns of realism and naturalism as well as beyond the timeworn biographical focus to engage such theoretical approaches as race, gender, class, post-structuralism, and new historicism. The range and intellectual energy of the essays collected here give the reader a new sense of Londons richness and variety, especially his treatment of diverse cultures. Having in the past focused more on Londons personal "world, we are now afforded an opportunity to look more closely at his art and the numerous worlds it uncovers.

Book excerpt: A revelatory look at the life of the great American author—and how it shaped his most beloved works Jack London was born a working class, fatherless Californian in 1876. In his youth, he was a boundlessly energetic adventurer on the bustling West Coast—an oyster pirate, a hobo, a sailor, and a prospector by turns. He spent his brief life rapidly accumulating the experiences that would inform his acclaimed bestselling books The Call of theWild, White Fang, and The Sea-Wolf. The bare outlines of his story suggest a classic rags-to-riches tale, but London the man was plagued by contradictions. He chronicled nature at its most savage, but wept helplessly at the deaths of his favorite animals. At his peak the highest paid writer in the United States, he was nevertheless forced to work under constant pressure for money. An irrepressibly optimistic crusader for social justice and a lover of humanity, he was also subject to spells of bitter invective, especially as his health declined. Branded by shortsighted critics as little more than a hack who produced a couple of memorable dog stories, he left behind a voluminous literary legacy, much of it ripe for rediscovery. In Jack London: An American Life, the noted Jack London scholar Earle Labor explores the brilliant and complicated novelist lost behind the myth—at once a hard-living globe-trotter and a man alive with ideas, whose passion for seeking new worlds to explore never waned until the day he died. Returning London to his proper place in the American pantheon, Labor resurrects a major American novelist in his full fire and glory.

Yet he knew them all- gliding and revolving there on the broad lanai of the Seaside, the officers in their fresh- starched uniforms of white, the civilians in white and black, and the women bare of shoulders and arms. After two years in Honolulu the Twentieth was departing to its new station in Alaska, and Percival Ford, as one of the big men of the Islands, could not help knowing the officers and their women...

Book excerpt: Jack London is best known for his stories about Alaska, but I was happy to learn on a recent trip to Hawaii that he also wrote a book of Hawaiian stories. For years now, it has been a habit of mine to seek out literature written by someone from the place I am traveling or in lieu of that, written about the place I am traveling. In Ecuador, I had an impossible time finding any translated Ecuadorian literature. In Argentina, I discovered one of my favorite authors, Cesar Aira. In India, I read Salman Rushdie. For Hawaii, my choices were more limited than I expected. I couldn't read the Descendants because I just saw the movie and I was not up for Paterson's 600 page epic. London's collection enticed me as I always loved Call of the Wild and hadn't read anything else by him.The book takes place in a Hawaii of another time, the early part of the 20th century, and deals with historic issues that probably still affect the culture to this day. Each tale builds on the theme of the last so that the reader is able to gain a broader and broader perspective of the era.The first story, "House of Pride," shows the animosity that some haoles (white people) of the missionary class had toward the local natives, particularly a sense of superiority (big surprise). The next story, "Koolau the Leper," is based on a true story about how lepers were forced into quarantine in Molokai, many against their will. One of my favorite stories is, "Goodbye, Jack," beautifully written from the perspective of a young mainland woman who visits the island with her father and doesn't realize that the man she has been spending time with is in love with her until her boat is leaving port to return home. In the same moment, she realizes, not only her requited love for him, but the reason he never told her, because he is a "half-caste," and would never be accepted by her father. London has a beautiful way of unveiling this young and tragic love.In the story, "Chin ah Chun," a Chinese immigrant comes to Hawaii as an indentured servant, but soon makes his fortune with good business dealings. It's a good story if you can stomach the character being referred to as a coolie (which continuously annoyed me). The last story, "The Sherriff of Kona," served to tie all the other stories together in conversation topics- lepers, love, half-castes, missionaries and immigrants.I gained a tremendous amount of insight into the culture of Hawaii from reading a book of short stories written a hundred years earlier. Humans are not quick to let go of our history, especially when it is a traumatic one. Hawaii is at once completely different from London's time there, and so much still the same.
