New e-book: The Wife of a King, Jack London

«The Wife of a King» is a short story by Jack London from «Son of the Wolf»․ London’s prose has a peculiar masculinity associated with it. Yet his portrayal of female characters in these stories is never any less to the male characters he writes about. Strong willed women have their way and assert their independence with the help of honorable and just men who populate this male dominated setting.
