Transcribed from the 1917 Mills & Boon edition by David Price
"Jerry of the Islands" by Jack London is a novel written during the early 20th century, specifically around the 1910s. The story centers on Jerry, a smooth-coated Irish terrier, and his adventures amid the tumultuous environment of the Solomon Islands, exploring themes of loyalty, survival, and the complexities of life in a colonial setting. Through Jerry's perspective, readers witness both the jungle's beauty and the stark realities of cannibalism and the brutal treatment of islanders by colonial enterprises. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jerry, a young dog who adores his master, "Mister" Haggin. The narrative begins with Jerry being unexpectedly whisked away, raising a sense of foreboding as he starts a new chapter aboard the "Arangi". As the story unfolds, we learn about the plantation life Jerry has left, the fears of facing the unknown, and the nature of his relationships with other dogs and humans. Jerry’s instinctual reactions to the threats around him reflect both his loyalty to his master and the harsh realities of his world, where danger is ever-present from both the sea and the people inhabiting these islands.
