Michael, Brother Of Jerry - Jack London - Bog

Bag om Michael, Brother Of Jerry

""Michael, Brother of Jerry"" is a novel by Jack London, published in 1917. It is a sequel to his earlier novel ""Jerry of the Islands."" The story follows the life of Michael, a dog who is the brother of Jerry, the protagonist of the first novel. Michael is taken from his home in the Solomon Islands and brought to California, where he is trained to become a fighting dog. However, Michael is not interested in fighting and instead longs to be reunited with his brother Jerry. The novel explores themes of loyalty, love, and the relationship between humans and animals. As with many of London's works, ""Michael, Brother of Jerry"" also touches on social issues, including animal rights and the cruel treatment of animals in the dogfighting industry. Overall, this novel is a heartfelt and poignant tale of a dog's journey to find his place in the world and the bond between two brothers.Michael possessed no trace of hysteria, though he was more temperamentally excitable and explosive than his blood-brother Jerry, while his father and mother were a sedate old couple indeed compared with him. Far more than mature Jerry, was mature Michael playful and rowdyish. His ebullient spirits were always on tap to spill over on the slightest provocation, and, as he was afterwards to demonstrate, he could weary a puppy with play.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
