Sinopsis

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


First published in 1913, “The Valley of the Moon” is a social novel by American writer Jack London with many autobiographical reflections.

“The Valley of the Moon” is an intriguing view into life in Northern California at the turn of the 19th century. A working-class couple, Billy and Saxon Roberts, leave their city life in Oakland behind to find a better life in the country, searching Central and Northern California for a suitable farmland to own. They visit an artist colony in Carmel before moving north to settle in the Valley of the Moon.

The novel is notable for the scenes in which the proletarian hero enjoys fellowship with the artists' colony in Carmel. It also reflects Jack London's own life journey from Oakland to escape urban poverty that ended in his dream home in Glen Ellen, California.

    H.M.S. Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor, is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It opened in London, England, on 25 May 1878 and ran for 571 performances, which was the second-longest run of any musical theatre piece up to that time. H.M.S. Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan's fourth operatic collaboration and their first international sensation. This is not that opera.It was adapted as a children's book by W. S. Gilbert entitled The Story of HMS Pinafore, or The Pinafore Picture Book, and includes some lovely illustrations by Alice B. Woodward that can be seen by following the archive.org link to the actual scanned book if you wish. No singing or any of Sullivan's music, just Gilbert's witty words laid out - by him - in prose and poetry with amusing asides.(Summary by Wikipedia and ToddHW)
