New York:: Macmillan,, 1916.. Hardcover first edition -. Fair condition only in a contemporary or early half leather binding - blue cloth with tan leather, gilt titling on the spine and tooling to the edges of the leather, bluegreen marbled endpapers, top edge gilt. (other Jack London first editions in matching binding available). Rear board detached but still present, some rubbing to the corners and sides of the spine, but contents are very good. . First printing. The last novel published during before London's death - while not autobiographical, it does use real people as inspiration for some of the characters. The Londons' biographer Clarice Stasz comments that this novel "upset readers in London's day for its gushing sexual imagery... [and] its close portrayal of the tempting pull of adultery. Modern critics, on the other hand, deride its Victorian coyness and sentimentality, its unrealistic characters. Both were correct it was too sexy for readers when it appeared, and not sexy enough for readers beyond the sexually free twenties." Color frontispiece. 392 pp.
