&quot;Lost Face&quot; is a collection of seven short stories by Jack London, first published in 1910. The collection takes its name from the first short story in the book, about a European adventurer in the Yukon who outwits his (American) Indian captors&#39; plans to torture him. The book includes London&#39;s best-known short story, &quot;To Build a Fire&quot; that tells the story of a new traveller in the Klondike who ignores warnings about travelling alone and whose life depends on the ability to build a fire. Also included are &quot;Trust&quot;, &quot;That Spot&quot;, &quot;Flush of Gold&quot;, &quot;The Passing of Marcus O&#39;Brien&quot;, and &quot;The Wit of Porportuk&quot;.<br /><br />At his peak, about the time this collection was first published, Jack London was the highest-paid and perhaps the most popular living American writer.
