The Faith of Men is a short story collection originally published in 1904 and contains eight of Jack London's adventure tales, all of them set in London's favorite milieu -- the Yukon Territory. A Relic of the Pliocene concerns a homely, blue-eyed, freckle-faced hunter named Thomas Stevens and his tracking and eventual killing of a prehistoric mammoth. A Hyperborean Brew also concerns Thomas Stevens and his schemes. In Batard, an evil master makes a monster of an evil dog. Other stories included are The Faith of Men, Too Much Gold, The One Thousand Dozen, The Marriage of Lit-Lit, Batard, and The Story of Jees Uck. . John Griffith Jack London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916)was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories To Build a Fire, An Odyssey of the North, and Love of Life. He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as The Pearls of Parlay and The Heathen, and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was part of the radical literary group The Crowd in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes
