Hard cover book. When God Laughs Author: Jack London Publisher: Reprint Publisher Unclear Possibly Heinemann Date: 1912-1940s Further Information: A plain dark green cloth binding with the title and author stamped in flat white/silver block lettering "WHEN GOD / LAUGHS" over "JACK LONDON." There's no gilt decoration, no illustrated boards, and no dust jacket. fictionWhen God Laughs, and Other Stories is Jack London's eleventh collection of short fiction, originally published in 1911 (by Mills & Boon in the UK) when London was about thirty-five and roughly at the midpoint of his career. It gathers twelve stories he had mostly written as quick, paying magazine work, and the quality is famously uneven hack pieces sit alongside some of his finest short fiction. Jack London lived beyond his income for much of his writing career, and to pay his bills he often produced 'immediately remunerative short fiction for the magazines'. In 1911 he pulled twelve of these into one volume. The collection takes its name from the opening story, about a couple who try in vain to sustain an intensely idealistic romance against the erosion of time and human inconstancy, and the book as a whole explores themes London was known for: survival in hostile environments, humanity's rawest instincts, and worker exploitation under industrial capitalism. Unlike much of London's earlier Klondike centred work, this collection is set largely in Polynesia and the South Seas, reflecting his voyages aboard the Snark in the years just before.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, when god laughs, jack london, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, pattison collection, warrnambool library, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library

Hard cover book. Smoke and Shorty Author: Jack London Publisher: Mills & Boon Date: 1920-1940s Further Information: A plain volume bound in pale blue cloth, with a stuck-on library classification label ("PAT FIC LON") on the spine and no visible date, edition statement, or printer's imprint on the pages shown the copyright/date page. There's no gilt decoration, no illustrated boards, and no dust jacket. fiction"Smoke and Shorty," first published in 1920, is a collection of linked short stories by Jack London, not a single continuous novel it follows two Klondike Gold Rush partners, the tenderfoot-turned-sourdough Christopher "Smoke" Bellew and his grizzled sidekick "Shorty," through a series of adventures in the frozen North. It is actually the second half of London's larger Smoke Bellew story-cycle: the first batch of stories, covering Smoke's initiation into the North, had already appeared in the 1912 volume Smoke Bellew, and this volume collects the remaining six tales to complete the series: "The Story of the Little Man," "The Hanging of Cultus George," "The Mistake of Creation," "A Flutter in Eggs," "The Town-site for Tra-lee," and "The Wonder of Woman." These stories mix comic set-pieces such as a wager over an omelette and a real-estate swindle with harsher tales of survival, justice, and hardship on the trail, all set against the Klondike Gold Rush backdrop that London knew firsthand from his own 1897–98 prospecting trip.warrnambool, shipwrecked-coast, flagstaff-hill, flagstaff-hill-maritime-museum, maritime-museum, shipwreck-coast, flagstaff-hill-maritime-village, shipwrecked-artefact, book, smoke and shorty, jack london, warrnambool mechanics’ institute, pattison collection, warrnambool library, ralph eric pattison, corangamite regional library service, warrnambool city librarian, mechanics’ institute library, victorian library board, warrnambool books and records, warrnambool children’s library, mills & boon
