The Kempton-Wace Letters Jack London

"A BOOK THAT PROMISES A SENSATION "In spite of its uninteresting title. "The Kempton-Wace Letters," by Anna Strunsky and Jack London, which will shortly be issued, is a book that promises to create a sensation in the world of literature because of the theories it exploits. It is written in the form of letters, the correspondents being an ideal poet and a materialist, and love is the theme. It is unusual, in the fullest sense of the term, and, from cover to cover, keeps well out of the beaten track of romance. "He opened windows for them upon the splendour and the savagery, the pomp and the pitifulness that he had found in many corners of the earth. He saw that in every scene, in every human activity there was an element which lifted it into the region of the beautiful, and he made all his readers see it, whether he was learned or ignorant; cultivated or only just able to read. Full justice has never been done to him. There was no silver in his purse, only gold." -Hamilton Fyfe in "The Daily Mail."
