2007-09-18 fascinating, visionary story

I'm so pleased to see this is still available, because though less well-known than White Fang and The Call of the Wild it's still a wonderful story. The narrator is haunted by dreams of a prehistoric past, in which he must survive a mortal enemy and other tribes, both more and less advanced than he is. London is a consummate story-teller, who never wastes a word, and at his best when describng savage emotions. I read this as a twelve-year-old and now want to get it for my own son of the same age....
