Wanderer Among the Stars

Darrell Standing is serving time in a solitary cell in a California prison. The guards use inhumane torture: prisoners are dressed in straitjackets, tightening the straps until they bleed and their bones crack, and this hell continues not for minutes... and hours, but for days and even weeks. Darrell learns the secret of moving his spirit through time and space and, in order to drown out the pain from torture and loneliness, turns into an interstellar wanderer, rushing into the past, to his former incarnations. «Wanderer Among the Stars» is another title of the novel «Straitjacket» – the most mysterious and last major work of Jack London, which was published during the author's lifetime. It captivates with the courage and resilience of the human spirit not only in the face of dangers but also in the face of death.
