Night-Born

Night-Born

by Jack London

This collection of short stories by Jack London presents a diverse array of themes and subjects, all infused with a touch of the bizarre. In 'The Night-Born', a woman finds inspiration to alter her life from an unexpected source. 'The Benefit of the Doubt' explores themes of justice and morality through the narrative of a corrupt judge. 'When The World Was Young' offers a fascinating exploration of the duality of humanity, contrasting the primitive with the civilized within a single individual. Each story is distinct and thought-provoking, inviting readers to engage with London's unique perspective on life and the human condition.
