Description
Excerpt from The Books in My Life
There has never been anything like this revolution m the history of the world. There xs nothing analogous between it and the American Revolution or the French Revolution. It is unique, colossal. Other revolutions compare with it as asteroids compare with the sun. It is alone of its kind, the first world revolution in a world whose history 15 replete with revolutions And not only this, for it is the first organized movement of men to become a world movement, limited only by the limits of the planet. This revolution is unlike all other revolutions in many It is not sporadic. It is not a ?ame of popular discontent, arising in a yand dying down m a day..
One of the first Americans, I presume, to make a fortune with the pen, Jack London resigned from the Socialist Party in 1916, accusing it of lacking fire and fight. One wonders what he would say today, were he alive, about evolution.
