It's Jack London:d

[@ufosrus]

Excellent story. I didn't know that London also took to science fiction.

[@ripsumrall8018]

Oh yeah, he did quite a bit. The Scarlet Plague, Iron Heel, Before Adam, Goliah. All available on Librivox.org. They are all good!

Thanks so much for this. I have to do an exam about this lecture and with this audiobook I understood every detail 😃😃😃

Definitely a product of it's time, but still, as a white man, I was offended by some of the language and the use of stereotype, particularly in the story about the boxing match. Unfortunate. At the same time I noticed some parallels to modern optics concerning the attempt to formulate a shade of black that would be invisible. I see that someone has already referred to "Vantablack" and Anish Kapoor. Very interesting. As always, what goes around comes around. Thanks.

How silly to be offended at a description of a man when the subject is about the absorption of light . I’d say you’re over sensitive .

@@jeaniecassel3188 I'd say you are entitled to your own opinion, as am I.

Hello

[@Teardehawkee]

11:23...Negro?.....Oh, geeze!

[@VicDemise]

Haven't played this yet- Wondering what the context is (beyond when it was written). I'll be paying special attention.

[@Teardehawkee]

.Must of been set in the 50's or early 60's......only thing I can come up with.

[@Teardehawkee]

Well......that answers that question.......Still doesn't take away the sting......Oh, geeze!

[@Teardehawkee]

sonoki82 I take it your not black......then you would understand the negro means Black ........Not black person......but a black thing....an object.......not a person......Go learn some history before you open your mouth!

[@mikeharris1480]

Oh grow up and stop being so sensitive

[@bi-furious5565]

Bruh..... They literally took a black coat and put it on a black man and were like, "yup! Invisibility descovered!" Ugh.... 😔 The language is some of these older books can be hard to listen to but this one was deffinately up there on the list.... Didn't age well.
