Acerca de este libro electrónico
Imagine a brutal pandemic annihilates global civilization, reducing humanity to primal savagery. In 2072, sixty years after the outbreak of the ‘Red Death’, an old professor wanders a deserted, wild San Francisco. He tries to recount the ‘Scarlet Plague’ and the lost wonders of the modern world to his grandsons. These boys have grown up in the wilderness; they wear animal skins, hunt with bows and arrows, and speak a simplified, rough version of English. Can the dying embers of knowledge survive in a brutal new dark age?

The mind behind this visionary tale, Jack London, was a man who knew a great deal about survival and hardship.

He was an adventurer who sailed the Pacific Ocean and travelled to the freezing Klondike region during the 1897 Gold Rush. These real-life experiences inspired his famous adventure novels like The Call of the Wild and White Fang.
