This work first published in 1911 in one volume is a marvelous selection of Jack London's short fiction. These outstanding stories--of the sea, of the land, of the ordinary people who work them--are examples of London at this passionate best. This collection named after the first story When God laughs , the collection explores themes for which London became famous: the struggle for survival in the midst of hostile environments, human nature’s most elemental drives, and worker abuse in industrialized society. As all of these stories vividly reveal, many of them brilliantly, no one had a more dispassionate and uncompromising view of human nature at its worst or could express it more forcefully than Jack London. Story list: When God laughs, The apostate, A wicked woman, Just meat, Created he them, The Chinago, Make westing, Semper Idem, A nose for the king, The Francis Spaight, A curious fragment, A piece of steak.
