Transcribed from the 1919 Mills and Boon edition by David Price "Lost Face" by Jack London is a collection of short stories first published in the late 19th century. The title story follows Subienkow, a Polish revolutionary, who faces brutal torture after being captured by indigenous tribesmen in Russian America. As he awaits his grim fate, he reflects on his life's journey and the savagery that has defined it. The opening of "Lost Face" introduces Subienkow, tied up and awaiting torture while observing a giant Cossack, Big Ivan, who is undergoing his own suffering. Subienkow shudders at the thought of begging for mercy, reflecting on his sensitive nature and artistic soul in stark contrast to the harsh realities of his life and his companions' brutal fates. As the narrative unfolds, he devises a desperate plan to save himself by claiming knowledge of a magical medicine that will protect him from harm, leveraging this ruse as he negotiates his survival with his captors. The tension builds around his precarious position, foreshadowing the moral dilemmas he faces in the savage world surrounding him. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
