The Star Rover

Autor Jack London Editat de Mybook
en Limba Engleză Paperback

The Star Rover is a novel by American writer Jack London published in 1915 (published in the United Kingdom as The Jacket). It is a story of reincarnation.A framing story is told in the first person by Darrell Standing, a university professor serving life imprisonment in San Quentin State Prison for murder. Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket which can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina. Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives. I trod interstellar space, exalted by the knowledge that I was bound on vast adventure, where, at the end, I would find all the cosmic formulae and have made clear to me the ultimate secret of the universe. In my hand I carried a long glass wand. It was borne in upon me that with the tip of this wand I must touch each star in passing. And I knew, in all absoluteness, that did I but miss one star I should be precipitated into some unplummeted abyss of unthinkable and eternal punishment and guilt.

A pioneer of the science fiction genre, as well as a prominent figure in the Realism and Naturalism literary movements, he was one of the first American authors to become internationally known and earn considerable wealth from his writing. His most notable books include 'The Call of the Wild' (1903) and 'White Fang' (1906). He was a member of San Francisco's radical literary group The Crowd and was a passionate animal rights activist.
