Jack London

The Iron Heel Illustrated Jack London

Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, Jack London's epic tale of a fictional Socialist uprising in the US and the rest of the world is told through the eyes of Avis Everhard, a middle-class woman who marries a prominent Socialist leader. Set in a fictional time period and based on a fictional manuscript written by Everhard and subsequently discovered 400 years later, the book is a fascinating portrayal of the characters and mechanisms of a Capitalist system that is brought to its knees by revolution. - Just as gripping today as it was when first published over a century ago, the novel is considered one of the great works of twentieth century literature and continues to be thoroughly enjoyed around the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
