Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $400**

Jack London (American, 1876 to 1916). "Before Adam" 1st ed. New York: The Macmillan Company, 1907 CE. 242 pp. with 4 pp. of advertisements. Illustrated by Charles Livingston Bull (American, 1874 to 1932 CE). 7 color plates. Original tan cloth with white and red lettering and brown and gray decoration. BAL 11903. Sisson & Martens, p. 33; "Hearts of Three" 1st ed. New York: Macmillan Company, 1920 CE. 373 pp. Original red cloth with gilt lettering. BAL 11982. Sisson & Martens, p. 103. 4990 copies issued. A remarkable pair of first edition books by the famous Jack London. His first foray into science fiction, "Before Adam" details the story of a man who dreams of living the life of an early hominid, offering an early view of human evolution. On the other hand, "Hearts of Three" was published posthumously and tells the adventure-packed tale of a young descendent of the pirate Henry Morgan, who sets out to find Morgan's treasure and meets his distant cousin along the way. Size (both about the same): 5.5" L x 1.4" W x 7.6" H (14 cm x 3.6 cm x 19.3 cm)

Born John Griffith Chaney, Jack London was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist who became one of the first American authors to gain international celebrity status. Considered an innovator of science fiction, London was a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, and socialism. He is most famous for writing "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," both set in the Klondike Gold Rush which London joined at the age of 21 in 1897.
