Jack London 2 hr 7 min read

A modern man is haunted by vivid dreams of a savage prehistoric life, memories, he becomes convinced, of an ancestral self from the dawn of humanity.

This Finnish edition presents Jack London's 1906 'Before Adam,' a bold early evolutionary fantasy of racial memory and the brutal world of our ape-like forebears. Vivid, imaginative, ahead of its time. Read it for London's gripping plunge into the deep prehistoric past, dreamed by a man who cannot escape it.
