"The Star Wanderer" (also known as "The Straitjacket") is Jack London's most enigmatic and final major work, published during his lifetime. The book explores the idea that there are no limits for man unless he sets them for himself. The novel captivates with the courage and fortitude of the human spirit not only in the face of danger but also in the face of death itself.

Darrell Standing is serving time in solitary confinement in a California prison. The guards there employ inhuman torture: prisoners are dressed in straitjackets, the straps are tightened until they bleed and bones crack, and this hellish experience lasts not minutes or hours, but days and even weeks. Darrell discovers the secret of spiritual travel through time and space and, to numb the pain of torture and loneliness, transforms into an interstellar wanderer, rushing into the past, to his previous incarnations.
