Books with author Charles Livingston

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

“White Fang” is a novel by American author Jack London (1876-1916). It was first published in 1906. The story takes place in Canada, during the Gold Rush at the end of the XIX century, and narrates a wild wolfdog’s journey to domestication. Much of it is written from the view-point of the canine character, exploring how wild animals view their world and that of human beings. The novel has been adapted for the screen numerous times.The ebook also contains- the original illustrations by Charles Livingston Bull (1874-1932);- a London's extra-story, the well-known “To Build a Fire” (1910);- a complete bibliography of London’s novels.

"THE author, having come across a copy of Waterton's "Wanderings in British Guiana," was so much impressed with it that he "went to Demerara, well equipped with sketchbooks and colour-box, and wandered through the jungle, the splendid, colourful, weird, living jungle." Having sailed up the great rivers to make detailed studies of the landscape and to watch the timid wild creatures come stealthily forth from their hiding-places, he tells us that he climbed up among the tangle of lianas into the very roof of the jungle until he could look out and watch the sun set over it, and watch the birds and beasts of the day disappear whilst the night-wanderers came forth. We are not told how long and how often he stopped there, but he cannot have wasted his opportunities, else, with more luck than is enjoyed by other ardent naturalists in a tropical forest, he could not have watched so many scenes from start to finish which he describes in his pleasantly written chapters."

Excerpt from Under the Roof of the Jungle: A Book of Animal Life in the Guiana WildsCourteous reader, here thou hast the outlines of an amazing landscape given thee; thou wilt see that the principal parts of it are but faintly traced, some of them scarcely visible at all, and that' the shades are wholly wanting. If thy soul partakes of the ardent flame. Which the persevering Mungo Park's did, these outlines will be enough for thee: they will give thee some idea of what a noble country this is; and if thou hast but courage to set about giving the world a finished picture of it, neither materials to work on, nor colors to paint it in its true shades, will be wanting to thee.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
