Jack London's best known short story, "To Build a Fire," tells the story of a nameless man and his dog attempting to survive in the frozen Northern Territory. In "That Spot," the eponymous Spot is a very unusual Yukon sled dog. "Flush of Gold" is a love story set against the harsh backdrop of the Yukon. "The Passing of Marcus O'Brien" deals the tale of the fair-but-tough Judge Marcus O'Brien in the settlement of Red Cow. "The Wit of Porportuk" tells the tale of El-Soo and Porportuk, two Indians among the white settlers. Jack London (died 1916) was a prominent voice of the late 19th and early 20th century. Their work has endured across generations and continues to be read and studied worldwide. As a work of classic literary fiction, Lost Face exemplifies the narrative craft and social insight that defined great storytelling of its era. Literary fiction of this period was characterized by careful attention to character psychology, social milieu, and the moral questions that animated public discourse.
