Hearts of Three

An adventure novel by Jack London about two distant descendants of the pirate Henry Morgan, who set out together in search of his treasure. They face dangers, betrayals, mysterious discoveries, and a struggle not only for gold but also for... the heart of a beautiful woman.

"Hearts of Three" was written by Jack London in collaboration with screenwriter Charles Goddard. The work was conceived as a basis for a film series - the writer admitted that he took on this job due to a lack of fresh plots for cinematography.

This was his fiftieth, anniversary book and an attempt to create an adventure story structured according to the laws of cinema: with rapid scene changes, chases, treasures, romantic intrigue, and exotic decorations. However, the planned filming did not take place - Hollywood did not show interest, and the novel was published only after London's death, in 1919-1920.
