I understand why Jack London is a widely read author. I really enjoyed this story and would read it again.

Not to be crass, or anything, I just believe that wherever I'm headed, down the road, in the life and times of Yours Truly, if I continue to persevere with my endeavors, nobody's going to suspect anything. Ah, I can openly admit of a double life; actually the one I'm living is pretty stable. I understand now that I'm not living here to party; the point of it all is to respect these people... They are some of them old, and some young at heart, all of them have passion in the heart, and they just deserve peace and accord.
"I sometimes think the most wonderful achievement of our tremendous civilization was food - its inconceivable abundance, its infinite variety, its marvellous delicacy. O my grandsons, life was life in those days, when we had such wonderful things to eat."
If I'm honest, this novel was intense. The first time I encountered Jack London's "The Scarlet Plague" I was in community college writing a paper on Upton Sinclair. Upton, along with London, were mentioned together, the one proponent muck-raker that kinda reminds me of Mike Rowe. Rowe is an excellent role-model, I remember him once saying, perpendicular to the bellicose prose of Anthony Bourdain, 'Show up. Go to work. It didn't matter what work you did. & That's an awful lot to be proud of; I like helping elderly people, and I don't know if any of you recall the All-American Rejects music video.
"And they were the most in-effable words I have ever heard."
So to the point, the year the Scarlet Plague happened was back in 2013, granted that Jack is ahead of the times, it's only science fiction, dudes! I envisioned to the Greene book prior a dystopian that everybody rebelled against the church, sort of every Christian's nightmare. It's like a dream to me... There should be prudence in supernature. Thing is, I just want to do things like I regularly do. At least, I'm authentic. Totally. My shortcomings are expanding on the condensity of the material, speaking Quotidian, I enjoy it. I appreciate the people around me, Life at Blandings... I read a lot more than I lurk. And that's all I have to say about that. Eating breakfast. 🍳

A post apocolytic vision of a post plague world. Quite interesting in the way it views the current world.

100 yıl öncesinde şu anda yaşadıklarımızı sanki bizim zamanımızda yaşamışçasına yazmış olması o kadar etkileyici ki favorilerimin arasına girmiş bulunmakta. Ayrıca kitabın sonundaki çevirmen notları kitabın değerini daha iyi anlamamızı sağlıyor mutlaka okunmalı.
