The book includes three works of the famous American writer Jack London, standing apart in his literary heritage and expanding his textbook image of the classic of adventure literature. "Martin Eden" - the story of a simple sailor who happened to be in the society and because of the sudden burst of love for the beautiful, sublime and refined Ruth Morse decided to change his life abruptly, stepping on the path of literary creation; however, this path turns out to be very and very thorny ... At the heart of the plot of the novel "The Little Mistress of the Big House", written a year before the death of the writer - a love triangle, the relationship in which partly echoes what happened at the California ranch Jack London and his wife Charmian in the winter of late 1912 - early 1913. This book, which shocked London's contemporaries frankness of sexual fantasies and description of the irresistible temptation of adultery, the author considered his best work. The story "John Barley Grain" - largely autobiographical, bitter and merciless in its frankness confession of a man whose life was spent in friendship with the title character, personified alcohol - opens us another unexpected hypostasis of Jack London's personality.
