The Human Drift is a collection of short stories by Jack London, first published in 1917. The stories explore the theme of human migration and the search for a better life, as characters move from one place to another in search of work, adventure, or a new beginning. The stories are set in various locations around the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. Some of the stories are based on London's own experiences as a sailor and adventurer, while others are fictional accounts of people he met or heard about. The Human Drift is a fascinating exploration of the human condition and the universal desire for change and growth.A sailor is born, not made. And by sailor is meant, not the average efficient and hopeless creature who is found to-day in the forecastle of deepwater ships, but the man who will take a fabric compounded of wood and iron and rope and canvas and compel it to obey his will on the surface of the sea. Barring captains and mates of big ships, the small-boat sailor is the real sailor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
