191195359Chicago: Charles H. Kerr & Company Co-operative 1911. Octavo pp. 1-3 4-29 30-32: ads original cream pictorial wrappers printed in blue illustrations by Dan Sayre Groesbeck on front and rear panels. First edition later printing with text ending on page 29 and publisher's address in the advertisements given as "341-349 E. Ohio St." Short story first published in HAMPTON'S MAGAZINE March 1911 later collected in THE STRENGTH OF THE STRONG 1914. "The Strength of the Strong" 1911 "completes the group of science fiction stories that grew out of London's interest in evolutionary racism and it can also serve to introduce the other principle dimension of London's scientific thought - his theory of revolutionary socialism. This caveman story is an allegory that slyly pays tribute to Kipling 'Lip-King' in its epigraph. A prehistoric parable it recreates the race's discovery of group solidarity and it is also an illustration in fiction of the theories proposed by the single most important influence on London's intellectual development Benjamin Kidd. Kidd was an Anglo-Saxon supremacist who tried to portray socialism as the next stage in Anglo-Saxon history a stage that would allow the Anglo-Saxon to manage the world for its own good. Kidd's reconciliation of racism and socialism made his ideas invaluable to London" Richard Gid Powers.

192117120Pasadena: Upton Sinclair 1921. Reprint. Octavo 18cm. Printed buff wrappers; 891pp ads. Covers and text mildly toned; still a tight lightly worn copy of the unusual wrappered edition. Simultaneously reprinted in cloth by Sinclair; initially published by John C. Winston & Co. in 1915. Important early anthology of radical prose poetry and art chosen "from five thousand years of writings on the working man." Includes sources as diverse as Arturo Giovannitti and Eugene Debs to Habakkuk and Martin Luther. Sinclair's intention with this work was to create a "Socialist Bible" to be mass-produced and present in every American household and Winston's initial printing even included an issue in black limp pebble-grained morocco. In his introduction Jack London indeed refers to this as "a humanist holy book;" but as of this writing 2013 Sinclair's effort does not appear to have supplanted the Christian Bible -- despite years of looking we have yet to encounter a copy of The Cry for Justice in a hotel dresser drawer.
