John Barleycorn - Jack London - Bog - Dover Publications Inc. - Plusbog.dk

John Barleycorn - Jack London - Bog - Dover Publications Inc. - Plusbog.dk

As close to an autobiography as Jack London ever wrote, John Barleycorn recounts the author''s lifelong struggle with alcohol. In this brutally frank memoir, which takes its title from the British folksong that personifies the source of whiskey and beer, London writes of alcohol as his friend and his enemy, an "august companion" and a "red-handed killer." In an age when alcoholism was viewed as a genetic weakness, London''s frank, ahead-of-its-time treatment of his struggles tarnished his sterling reputation as a paragon of all-American manhood. The book created a sensation upon its 1913 publication and became a powerful tool of the temperance movement. More than a screed against demon rum, however, the tale recounts London''s years as a sailor, explorer, and frontiersman up and down the West Coast, from Southern California to Alaska. Rich in anecdotes and written in a captivating style, the book also offers compelling insights into London''s life as a rugged adventurer and popular writer.

The Window at the White Cat - Mary Roberts Rinehart - Bog - Dover Publications Inc. - Plusbog.dk

"In my criminal work, everything that wears skirts is a lady, until the law proves her otherwise," declares Jack Knox, attorney at law and narrator of this sprightly mystery. Jack''s cautiously chivalrous observation is prompted by the beauty and distress of his newest client, Margery Flemming. It seems that Margery''s father, a crooked politician, has been missing for over a week. Unwilling to involve the police in her father''s corrupt activities, the comely young woman has selected a random lawyer for consultation—a counselor who falls in love with her at first sight and determines to prove his worth.Jack''s pursuit of the vanished politician leads to an investigation of a notorious social club known as the White Cat. While Jack bumbles his way along a trail of clues (he''s comically clumsy as well as inexperienced at locating missing persons), Margery takes refuge with her elderly aunts, one of whom suddenly disappears, leaving behind only a bloody handprint. Can Jack locate Margery''s missing relatives and win her affections from her increasingly suspicious-looking fiancé? Mary Roberts Rinehart, "the American Agatha Christie," published this entertaining romp in 1910. Loaded with period charm, the briskly paced mystery combines political thrills, humor, and romance.
