"The Star Rover" is the story of San Quentin death-row inmate
Darrell Standing, who escapes the horror of prison life--and long
stretches in a straitjacket--by withdrawing into vivid dreams of
past lives, including incarnations as a French nobleman and an
Englishman in medieval Korea. Based on the life and imprisonment of
Jack London's friend Ed Morrell, this is one of the author's most
complex and original works. As Lorenzo Carcaterra argues in his
Introduction, "The Star Rover" is "written with energy and force,
brilliantly marching between the netherworlds of brutality and
beauty." This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text
of the first American edition, published in 1915.
