The Night-Born (Annotated) #627337

• This edition includes the following editor's analysis: Jack London, an infinite passion for adventure that drove all his work

First published in 1913, “The Night-Born” is a collection of ten short stories by American author Jack London with no apparent genre connection to place them in a set. Each story collected in "The Night-Born", including the title story, is unique and thought-provoking as they deal with various themes and issues, all more or less bizarre.

The collection includes, among others, War, in which a cavalry scout moves across the landscape as the horrors of war take place before his eyes and in his head and The Mexican, in which a mysterious young man joins a band of revolutionaries fighting in Los Angeles with the task of finding enough money to help the fighting in Mexico.
