Publisher Description: Lost Face is a classic story by Jack London about a man out of place and out of time. Subienkow is a Polack, who in mid-1800's Russian America finds himself the second to last survivor of a group of Russian fur thieves who have just been defeated by liberators from the local tribe they have enslaved as forced labour. Now Subienkow faces a long, protracted and painful death unless he can come up with a plan for escape. Subienkow calls over the tribe's chief, Makamuk and he begins to barter. What follows is a power play between the two men, and Yakuga, a recently freed slave, who doubts the legitimacy of Subienkow's offer even as he begins to question the wisdom of his tribe's chief. |
