Lost Face takes its name from the first short story in the book, about an European adventurer in the Yukon who outwits his (American) Indian captors' plans to torture him. Lost Face includes London's best-known short story, "To Build a Fire".

About the author

London’s Northland books put animals and people under the same pressure: cold, hunger, and the stories civilization tells about both. The Call of the Wild follows a dog out of California and into that pressure. More of this shelf for Jack London.
