Children of the Frost

Meer over het boek

Set in a post-apocalyptic 2072, the narrative follows James Howard Smith, one of the last survivors in a decimated San Francisco. As he faces his mortality, he seeks to pass on wisdom to his grandsons amidst a society marked by severe class divisions and an oligarchic political system. The remnants of civilization include commercial airship lines and a hereditary underclass of servants. This exploration of knowledge, survival, and societal decay reflects Jack London's poignant commentary on human resilience and societal structure.
