The star rover / Jack London. by London, Jack, 1876-1916. Dover Publications, 2017. Call #: FICTION LON Subjects California State Prison at San Quentin -- Fiction.   Death row inmates -- Fiction.   Reincarnation -- Fiction.   Prisoners -- Fiction.   Prisons -- Fiction.   San Quentin (Calif.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780486819389 (trade pbk) Edition:  Dover ed. Description:  xiv, 261 p. ; 21 cm. Notes:  Originally published by Macmillan and Company, New York, in 1915. Summary:  "An inmate sentenced to life at San Quentin escapes the horrors of his incarceration through astral travel in this boldly imaginative work by a master storyteller. Darrell Standing endures the agonies of beatings and extended periods in a straitjacket by withdrawing into intense dreams of his past lives. Standing's fantasies transport him from his harrowing confinement to identities as a nobleman in medieval France, a shipwrecked seal-hunter, an Englishman in 17th-century Korea, and an advisor to Pontius Pilate. This final novel by the author of The Call of the Wild is both a tale of life in solitary confinement and an epic journey across space, time, and history. Jack London delivers a moving indictment of the brutality and corruption of the prison system that is also a celebration of the power of imagination to rise above misery and to keep hope alive."--Publisher.
