Lost Face

Jack London

Jack London, as part of his Nordic Tales series, raises a problem that is difficult to articulate clearly. This is a situation when a person is faced with the inevitability of a terrible painful death. A choice arises before him, which is worse: to accept a painful end, clinging to life until the last breath, or to die voluntarily. The peculiarity of the story is that the main character is a citizen of the Russian Empire, a participant in the Polish uprising, exiled by the tsar to Siberia.

Love of Life and Other Stories

Jack London

Love of life is not only the name of the story, but also the main quality of one of the characters. Such an acute, almost tangible desire took possession of man that he, exhausted by hunger, cold, chills, illness, dislocation, hallucinations and other troubles that can await a lonely generational man in the forest. He survived the battle with a bear, with a wolf, with his mind and body, persuading him to rise again, persuading him to survive. The story is small in volume, wild and completely killing every touch of romanticism, which will revive again, barely reaching extreme significance.
