Mizhzoryany mandrivnik - London Jack (9789660389922)

The great romantic Jack London (1876–1916), despite the fact that many disappointments befell him, in spite of everything believes in Man, the strength of his spirit and defiance of circumstances. The motto of his heroes is to never give up. The novel “Interstellar Traveler” is the writer’s last great work, published during his lifetime (1915). Former agricultural college teacher Professor Darell Standing is serving a life sentence at St. Quentin State Prison. He went to jail for murdering a colleague out of jealousy. Prison guards, punishing him for his insubordination, each time lace Darel into a canvas "hell shirt" - a form of prison torture that can cause a heart attack. Having learned to fall into a trance, during torture, Standing travels through the worlds of his former lives: from prehistoric times to the beginning of the twentieth century. While awaiting execution, Darell Standing becomes a living embodiment of the principle - the strongest thing in a person is his spirit, which remains even when the material body dies. Previously, the publishing house "Folio" published the collection "White Tooth", the novels "Hearts of Three", "Martin Eden", "Daughter of the Snows", "Sea Wolf" and "Valley of the Moon".
