Product Description

interzone, June 2000
" . . . a facsimile of the first edition . . . with the original book illustrations; the late Loren Eiseley's interesting afterword dates from an earlier reprint of 1962; one of the minor classics of pre-historic romance." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Description
Before Adam is Jack London’s fictional tour de force. In it, he brilliantly recreates the dawn of humanity, depicting the prehistoric world as a place of dark conflict where only the fittest will survive.

Tormented by a succession of terrifying dreams, the narrator is faced with the strange truth that his consciousness has become intertwined with that of Big-Tooth, his mid-Pleistocene ancestor. Through these dream memories, he witnesses Big-Tooth’s life – a life as one of the ‘Folk’ race, without developed language, social structure or fire. He sees, too, the Folk’s fierce battles for survival against the more advanced Fire People, and the primitive Tree People. As he struggles to make sense of Big-Tooth’s world, he begins questioning the very notion of eugenics, making Before Adam one of the most pertinent works of its time.
