Excerpt from The Books in My Life
There has never been anything like this revolution m the history of the world. There xs nothing analogous between it and the American Revolution or the French Revolution. It is unique, colossal. Other revolutions compare with it as asteroids compare with the sun. It is alone of its kind, the first world revolution in a world whose history 15 replete with revolutions And not only this, for it is the first organized movement of men to become a world movement, limited only by the limits of the planet. This revolution is unlike all other revolutions in many It is not sporadic. It is not a flame of popular discontent, arising in a yand dying down m a day..
One of the first Americans, I presume, to make a fortune with the pen, Jack London resigned from the Socialist Party in 1916, accusing it of lacking fire and fight. One wonders what he would say today, were he alive, about evolution.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating exploration of the author's personal relationship with books, a lifelong passion that began with the insatiable hunger for stories and knowledge. The author recounts his experiences in the world of literature, not as a scholar or critic, but as a reader deeply engaged with the emotional and transformative power of the written word. He examines the role of books in shaping his identity and perspective, reflecting on the diverse array of influences that have shaped his literary tastes and shaped his life. The author delves into the unique impact of reading in childhood, contrasting it with the more deliberate and conscious engagement with books that comes with maturity. The book explores the phenomenon of "living books," individuals who have left an indelible mark on the author's life and served as sources of inspiration and intellectual stimulation. The author also explores the profound impact of the books that he has never read, examining the reasons why certain books remain out of reach and how this avoidance can be just as impactful as the books one chooses to consume. Through a series of anecdotes and reflections, the author invites the reader to consider the role of books in their own lives, offering a fresh perspective on the value of reading and the interconnectedness of experience. This book is an insightful journey into the heart of a reader's life, a testament to the enduring power of books to inspire, enlighten, and shape our understanding of the world.
