The Star Rover

How to survive when the body is bound in chains of torture and fear? In Jack London's novel "The Star Rover," Darrell Standing, sentenced to life in solitary confinement and tortured in a straitjacket, escapes from unbearable suffering into his past lives. A Viking who endured bloody battles and slavery, a Korean court intriguer, a sailor on a deserted island — endless reincarnations, an eternal cycle of existence that Standing comprehends along with an ancient truth as old as the mountains. To be free means to realize the illusory nature of time, the body, and death itself, merging into the infinity of being. The novel is published in English without adaptation or abridgment.
