As a young man in the summer of 1897, Jack London joined theKlondike gold rush. From that seminal experience emerged thesegripping, inimitable wilderness tales, which have endured as someof London' s best and most defining work. With remarkable insightand unflinching realism, London describes the punishing adversitythat awaited men in the brutal, frozen expanses of the Yukon, andthe extreme tactics these adventurers and travelers adopted tosurvive. As Van Wyck Brooks observed, " One felt that the storieshad been somehow lived- that they were not merely observed- thatthe author was not telling tales but telling his life." Thisedition is unique to the Modern Library, featuring twenty-threecarefully chosen stories from London' s three collected Northlandvolumes and his later Klondike tales. It also includes two maps ofthe region, and notes on the text.

I Married a Communist is the story of the rise and fall of IraRingold, a big American roughneck who begins life as a teenageditch-digger in 1930s Newark, becomes a big-time 1940s radio star,and is destroyed, as both a performer and a man, in the McCarthywitchhunt of the 1950s. In his heyday as a star--and as a zealous,bullying supporter of "progressive" political causes--Ira marriesHollywood's beloved silent-film star, Eve Frame. Their glamoroushoneymoon in her Manhattan townhouse is shortlived, however, and itis the publication of Eve's scandalous bestselling expose thatidentifies him as "an American taking his orders from Moscow." Inthis story of cruelty, betrayal, and revenge spilling over into thepublic arena from their origins in Ira's turbulent personal life,Philip Roth--who "Commonweal" calls the "master chronicler of theAmerican twentieth century--has written a brilliant fictionalprotrayal of that treacherous postwar epoch when the anti-Communistfever not only infected national politics but tra

Joyce Carol Oates's Wonderland Quartet comprises four remarkablenovels that explore social class in America and the inner lives ofyoung Americans. In Expensive People, Oates takes a provocative andsuspenseful look at the roiling secrets of America's affluentsuburbs. Set in the late 1960s, this first-person confession isnarrated by Richard Everett, a precocious and obese boy who seeshimself as a minor character in the alarming drama unfolding aroundhim. Fascinated by yet alienated from his attractive, self-absorbedparents and the privileged world they inhabit, Richard incisivelyanalyzes his own mismanaged childhood, his pretentious privateschooling, his "successful-executive" father, and his elusivemother. In an act of defiance and desperation, eleven-year-oldRichard strikes out in a way that presages the violence ofever-younger Americans in the turbulent decades to come. A NationalBook Award finalist, "Expensive People" is a stunning combinationof social satire and gothic horror. "You cannot put this novel a

Our Mutual Friend was the last novel Charles Dickenscompleted and is, arguably, his darkest and most complex. The basicplot is vintage Dickens: an inheritance up for grabs, a murder, arocky romance or two, plenty of skullduggery, and a host ofunforgettable secondary characters. But in this final outing theauthor's heroes are more flawed, his villains more sympathetic, andthe story as a whole more harrowing and less sentimental. The moodis set in the opening scene in which a riverman, Gaffer Hexam, andhis daughter Lizzie troll the Thames searching for drowned menwhose pockets Gaffer will rifle before turning the body over to theauthorities. On this particular night Gaffer finds a corpse that islater identified as that of John Harmon, who was returning fromabroad to claim a large fortune when he was apparently murdered andthrown into the river. Harmon's death is the catalyst for everything else that happensin the novel. It seems the fortune was left to the young man on thecondition that he marry a girl he'd
