The stirring story of a man who rises by force of sheer ability and perseverance from the humblest beginning to a position of fame and influence. The elemental strength, the vigor and determination, of Martin Eden make him the most interesting character that Mr. London has ever created. “It is,” writes the critic of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, “a forcible, fearless, forthright book, spilling over with vitality.”

Other People’s HousesCloth, 12mo, $1.50

“ ‘Other People’s Houses’ possesses that distinction of style in which most of our current American fiction is so lamentably deficient, and it has in addition the advantage of a theme which is a grateful relief from the usual saccharine love story admittedly designed to suit the caramel age. . . . Miss Dewing has a fine feeling for comedy and gives evidence of both genuine talent and a fresh and vivid outlook upon life.”—New York Times.
