myxomycetes 's review for:

The Scarlet Plague by Jack London
2.0

A plague destroys civilization and an old man recounts how it all used to be to his descendants who now live in a tribal state and mock him. My problem is that London is too narrow minded and in love with the idea that civilized intellectuals are so soft that he can't envisage a way they would adapt to a primitive world as story tellers or historians.
