1915L02594875 ad pages with 20 photo plates including frontispiece. Small octavo 7 1/2" x 5 3/4" issued in light blue cloth decorated and lettered in gilt. inscribed by Charmain on front end paper. First Edition.<br /><br />Charmian Kittredge London November 27 1871-January 14 1955 was Jack London's second wife. After divorcing Bess Maddern London in 1904 London married Charmian Kittredge the following year. Biographer Russ Kingman called Charmian "Jack's soul-mate always at his side and a perfect match." She was the author of several books about her life with Jack London: The Log of the Snark Our Hawaii and The Book of Jack London. The last is considered by scholars to be an important but flawed source of biographical information on London: Clarice Stasz calls it "an uneven account that omits Jack's illegitimacy yet has surprisingly frank information nonetheless concerning his personality." Their relationship became the subject of a book Clarice Stasz' American Dreamers. The couple had no children who survived them. One died soon after being born and another pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. Shortly after the death of Jack London Charmian had an affair with Harry Houdini. A PBS source cites an Houdini biographer saying: Most of the evidence of their affair convincingly reconstructed by Houdini biographer Kenneth Silverman comes from brief entries in Charmian's diaries. They saw each other over several weeks early in 1918 while Charmian was living in New York where Houdini was starring in the patriotic World War I extravaganza "Cheer Up." Charmian wrote that after they saw each other a few times Houdini made a "declaration" that "rather shakes me up." They became intimate a short time later. She wrote that one visit by Houdini had "stirred me to the deep" and that he apparently felt the same declaring "I'm mad about you" and "I give all of myself to you." Throughout she refers to him alternately as "Magic" her "Magic Man" or "Magic Lover." As intense as it apparently was their attachment did not last long. Charmian the "New Woman" whose marriage to London had included open sexual experimentation never stopped seeing other men.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Inscription to front end paper.

1916137621916. New York: The Macmillan Company 1916. 6 pp undated ads. Original blue cloth pictorially decorated in black white and orange. First Edition of this tale about a love triangle on a large ranch. Though not published until the year of Jack's death he had written this during his bad year of 1913. He spent much of that year visiting a dentist finally having all of his upper teeth pulled to halt the pyorrhea raging in his gums; at about the same time his Wolf House burned down two weeks before its completion; and his kidney problems continued to worsen exacerbated by his drinking and his insistence upon eating raw fish and duck -- "Jack persisted in gobbling underdone flesh as if he were a wolf." The novel was meant to exalt the splendor of Wolf House and scientific farming and sex. "It is all sex from start to finish --" he wrote to the editor of Cosmopolitan "in which no sexual adventure is actually achieved or comes within a million miles of being achieved and in which nevertheless is all the guts of sex coupled with strength.". As in THE SEA-WOLF Jack split his own role between the two male protagonists the ranch owner Dick Forrest and the romantic adventurer Evan Graham. Forrest is Jack's ideal of the rich commercial rancher of the future the owner of 250000 acres worked on strict scientific principles. Evan Graham is another version of Dick Forrest but he has chosen to remain a writer and a wanderer -- the escapist ideal of Jack himself. Both men. compete for the love of Dick's wife Paula -- a vision of Charmian as the elegant hostess the athletic horsewoman and the Eternal Kid of Jack's fantasies. She kills herself to solve her dilemma the day before Dick has decided to do the same thing. The end of Paula is indeed sinister. Having shot herself she is revived by the use of a stimulant then given a large dose of morphine to allow her to slip away without pain. The closing lines suggest Jack's own reliance on drugs to kill the unceasing pain of his kidneys and his bladder.
