Michael, Brother of Jerry

Jack London (1876—1916) was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. Pioneering the genre of magazine fiction and prototyping science fiction, he became one of the first writers, who gained worldwide fame and a large fortune. Being a sequel to 'Jerry of the Islands' this novel tells the story of Jerry's sibling, Irish terrier Michael, born in the Solomon Islands. The dog works as a slave hunter on a schooner recruiting native islanders for work. One day the captain accidentally leaves Michael on a beach and sails away, thereby forcing Michael to go on a journey in which he must find a new owner.
