John Barleycorn - Jack London - Book 27, Part 2 Title: John Barleycorn Overview: John Barleycorn is an autobiographical novel by Jack London dealing with his enjoyment of drinking and struggles with alcoholism. It was published in 1913. The title is taken from the British folksong "John Barleycorn". Jack London died at the age of forty. In this autobiographical work, London describes his life as seen through the eyes of John Barleycorn (alcohol). There is much controversy about the cause of his death just as there is about alcoholism and addiction. London's brutally frank and honest analysis of his own struggles and bouts with alcohol was way before its time and more modern theories of addiction. With remarkable candor and insight, London describes the demons and gods he encountered through both friend and enemy, John Barleycorn. Famed American author Jack London lived and worked on the waterfront in his early years. He roamed from Benicia to Alviso as an ‘Oyster Pirate’ and later became a member of the ‘Fish Patrol’ enforcing fish poaching laws. It was during his stay in Benicia that he began to write and where he garnered the experiences and inspiration for two of his well-known works, “Tales of the Fish Patrol” and “John Barleycorn.” The Jurgensen Old Corner Saloon was located at Jack London Haunts (1892-1895) Semple Slips / Jurgensen Saloon and was a favorite hangout for London and provided much material for “John Barleycorn.” Published: 1913 Series: Autobiographical Memoirs Collections #3, Non-Fiction Collections #4 Author: Jack London Genre: Memoirs Episode: John Barleycorn - Jack London - Book 27, Part 2 Part: 2 of 2 Length Part: 4:00:12 Book: 27 Length Book: 9:43:45 Episodes: 11 - 19 of 19 Narrator: Peter Kelleher Language: English Rated: Guidance Suggested Edition: Unabridged Audiobook Keywords: determination, persistence, man versus nature, battle, morality play, perception, discovery, travels, adventure, family, jacklondon Hashtags: #freeaudiobooks #audiobook #mustread #readingbooks #audiblebooks #favoritebooks #free #booklist #audible #freeaudiobook #determination #persistence #man #nature #battle #morality #perception #discovery #travels #adventure #family #JackLondon Credits: All LibriVox Recordings are in the Public Domain.

Revolution, and Other Essays - Jack London - Book 21 Title: Revolution, and Other Essays Overview: A collection of 13 essays written between 1900 and 1908, published in 1910. The lead essay, "Revolution", outlines how and why London renounced capitalism as a failed social system and declared himself an active participant in the "socialist revolution", the last essay is an autobiographical piece, and the essays in between are on diverse subjects. A few of the “essays” are actually humorous short fiction stories; others are serious, sometimes angry rants against capitalistic greed and political corruption. All of the pieces are thought-provoking and excellently written, though only loosely intellectual, highly opinionated, and rife with contradiction, as was London himself.
