How to Build a Fire and Other Stories by Jack London

5.0

This is a great mixture of adventure and existentialism. An obvious comparison can be found in Hemingway's short stories, but London is simply more consistently interesting. These tales are at once rip-roaring adventures, windows into lost times and places, lessons on the power and brutality of nature, and meditations on man's place in the universe. Jack London is the MAN.
