The Star Roverby Jack LondonSan Quentin, death-row inmate Darrell Standing, escapes the horror of prison life--and long stretches in a straitjacket--by withdrawing into vivid dreams of past lives, including incarnations as a French nobleman and an Englishman in medieval Korea. Based on the life and imprisonment of Jack London's friend Ed Morrell, this is one of the author's most complex and original works. As Lorenzo Carcaterra argues in his Introduction, The Star Rover is "written with energy and force, brilliantly marching between the netherworlds of brutality and beauty.

The Star Rover

Jack London'ın 1907'de yayımlanan Demir Ökçe adlı eseri, modern karşı-ütopyacı romanların ilki sayılır. Totaliter ve baskıcı sistemdeki toplumu tanımlamak için kullanılan karşı-ütopya kavramı, bu kitapta, ABD'de oligarşik bir tiranlığın yükselişinde yansıyor. George Orwell'in Bin Dokuz Yüz Seksen Dört adlı romanına da esin kaynağı olan Demir Ökçe, toplumda ve siyasette gelecekte yer alacak değişiklikleri irdeler. Jack London'ın ileride ABD'de bir çöküş yaşanacağı yolundaki öngörüsü tam anlamıyla gerçekleşmemişse de, yazarın uluslararası gerginliklerle ilgili görüşleri birkaç yıl farkla da olsa gerçek tarihle örtüşür. Demir Ökçe'de 1913'te başlayan bu çatışma, gerçekte 1914'te patlak vermiştir. Dahası, London sadece 1914'te olanları değil, İkinci Dünya Savaşı'na giden olayları da kehanette bulunurcasına öngörmüş; faşist yapılanmanın dünyayı nasıl dehşete sürükleyeceğini ve bunun karşısındaki devrimci duruşun nasıl olması gerektiğini dile getirmiştir.

Demir Ökçe

"[A work of] true power." — Andrew Sinclair. A lifer at San Quentin escapes the horrors of his incarceration through astral travel. A moving indictment of the brutal prison system that also illustrates the sustaining power of imagination.

Mesafeleri kısaltan, göğü yere indiren ve görmediği düşmanları yenen insanlık... Ölümün kızılıyla başa çıkabilir mi? "İnsanlık" dediğimiz şey, kendi canını kurtarmak için başkalarının canını çiğnemeye karar verdiğimizde biter mi? Jack London, 1912 yılında yayımladığı bu eserinde veba salgınıyla yok oluşun eşiğine gelmiş insanlığın yeniden doğuş çabasını salgından sonra geçen altmış yılda hayatta kalan tek kişinin ağzından anlatıyor. Kızıl Veba'da insanlığın "medeniyet" perdesi bir çırpıda kaldırılıp hayatta kalmak için neler yapabileceği ve gözle görülmeyen küçücük bir varlık karşısında nasıl da çaresiz kaldığı gözler önüne seriliyor.

Kızıl Veba

“Çolpa, serseriler dünyasında aceminin adıdır; deneyimli haytalardan ise sakınmak gerekir, özellikle sürü halinde gezdikleri zaman.” Jack London, on altı yaşındayken ABD’yi bir baştan öbür başa dolaşmak üzere uzun bir yolculuğa çıkar. Elbette beş parasızdır ve kullandığı başlıca ulaşım aracı, kaçak olarak bindiği posta trenleridir. İş bulduğunda çalışarak, bulamadığında kapıları çalıp yiyecek dilenerek, ahırlarda ya da parklarda geceleyerek sürdürür yolculuğunu. Yük vagonları, sokaklar, cezaevleri, kendisi gibi “kopuklar”la doludur. Jack London’ın otobiyografik anlatısı, tarihe “1893 paniği” olarak geçen mali krizin yarattığı insani yıkıma ayna tutuyor. Mete Ergin’in çevirisi, zengin sokak jargonuyla hayranlığınızı kazanacak.

Haytalarla Çolpalar

Jack London (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916), was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a huge financial success from writing.The Scarlet Plague was written by Jack London and originally published in London Magazine in 1912. It was re-released in February of 2007 by Echo Library. The story takes place in 2072, sixty years after the scarlet plague has depopulated the planet. James Howard Smith is one of the few people left alive in the San Francisco area, and as he realizes his time grows short, he tries to impart the value of knowledge and wisdom to his grandsons.American society at the time of the plague has become severely stratified and there is a large hereditary underclass of servants and "nurses"; and the politcal system has been replaced by a formalized oligarchy. Commercial airship lines exist, as do some airships privately owned by the very rich.
