Confiné dans l'espace le plus surveillé d'une prison, Darrell Standing, sorte d'alter ego de London (lui-même incarcéré en 1894), va réussir l'exploit de s'évader ! Il le fait magistralement en revivant par la pensée ce que furent ses vies antérieures : naufragé sur une île déserte, légionnaire en Palestine, gamin assistant au massacre d'une caravane de pionniers ou même époux d'une princesse coréenne... Des situations radicales où le héros témoigne de la folie des hommes et où London, une nouvelle fois, dans une fable toute de bruit et de fureur, véritable cathédrale dédiée à l'Imaginaire, donne la mesure d'un talent hors norme.

Work Description

"In The Star Rover London indicts the savagery of prison life: San Quentin death row inmate Darrell Standing can escape his confinement and torture only by withdrawing into dreams of past lives during what he calls his "eternal recurrence on earth." Thus the fantastic becomes a vehicle for exposing social inequities and religious hypocrisy.

Leslie Fiedler, Samuel Clemens Professor of English at the State University of New York at Buffalo and an essayist, poet, and critic, provides an important introduction to this often neglected classic."--BOOK JACKET.
