This collection of Jack London's stories touches on a variety of topics, from his love of boxing, to relationships between criminals, to the trials of life and travel on many frontiers, to an allegory about a king who desired a nose. London is considered a master of the story telling, a form much more to his liking and personality than his novels. He was active and quick of mind and the short story suited him well. The stories take place in diverse locales, including San Francisco, Tahiti, Korea, Australia, and the open seas. The quality of the stories also varies greatly, and in many ways the selections represent the zenith and the nadir of London's writing. Three of these stories, "The Apostate", "The Chinago", and "A Piece of Steak" are masterpieces of storytelling, among the best of London's career
