Lost Face

Lost Face is a collection of seven stories by Jack London. It takes its name from the first story in the book, about a European adventurer in the Yukon who outwits his Indian captors' plans to torture him. This collection includes London's best-known short story, “To Build a Fire.” It tells the story of a new traveler in the Klondike who ignores warnings about traveling alone and whose life depends on the ability to build a fire. Also included are “Trust,” “That Spot,” “Flush of Gold,” “The Passing of Marcus O'Brien,” and “The Wit of Porportuk.”
