«The Scarlet Plague» is Jack London's dystopian science fiction novel, published by Hesperus Press in paperback (112 pages, in English).
In a future after a pandemic that has decimated humanity, an old man among the few survivors who retain memory of the past explains to a young man what the world was like before the scarlet plague ended civilization. The tale contrasts the lost knowledge of an extinct society with the miserable life of the tribes that have replaced it, in a desolate atmosphere that invites reflection on the fragility of culture.
This 2008 edition includes a foreword by Tony Robinson and is part of Hesperus Press's Modern Voices collection. The work was originally published in 1912.
For readers of classic science fiction, post-apocalyptic futures and survival stories, especially those familiar with Jack London's work.
