The Star Rover is the story of San Quentin death-row inmate Darrell Standing, who escapes the horror of prison life&;and long stretches in a straitjacket&;by withdrawing into vivid dreams of past lives, including incarnations as a French nobleman and an Englishman in medieval Korea. Based on the life and imprisonment of Jack London&;s friend Ed Morrell, this is one of the author&;s most complex and original works. As Lorenzo Carcaterra argues in his Introduction, The Star Rover is &;written with energy and force, brilliantly marching between the netherworlds of brutality and beauty.&;This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the text of the first American edition, published in 1915.
