The Star Rover (Annotated)
London Jack
Description
The Star Rover, also known as The Jacket in the United Kingdom, is a collection of short stories about reincarnation. It follows the story of death-row inmate Darrell Standing, who withdraws into vivid fantasies of past lives, including incarnations as a French nobleman and an Englishman in ancient Korea, to escape the horrors of prison life — and extended stretches in a straitjacket. This is one of Jack London's most complicated and creative compositions, based on the life and imprisonment of his buddy Ed Morrell.• All content is redone in a new style, with the author's name and the title of the novel at the top.• For a better glance, a small graphic is added at the beginning of each chapter.• A detailed biography of the author has been included.
