When God Laughs & Other Stories(III) 神灵微笑时和其他故事集（英文版） (English Edition)

This collection named after the first story — about a couple that tries in vain to uphold an intensely idealistic romance against the erosions of time and the inconstancy of human nature — 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. 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. 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. Contents: 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.
