The Iron Heel
The Iron Heel by Jack London is a thought-provoking novel published by CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform on October 6, 2017. This edition spans 382 pages and is presented in English. The narrative is structured around the fictional “Everhard Manuscript,” authored by Avis Everhard, which she concealed and was later discovered centuries later. The story is enriched by an introduction and extensive footnotes provided by scholar Anthony Meredith, who writes from a future perspective in 2600 AD.
Readers will encounter a unique dual narrative as London explores themes of historical interpretation and societal evolution. The interplay between Meredith’s corrections of Everhard’s manuscript and his own limited understanding of the past invites reflection on the nature of knowledge and history. This edition offers a blend of fiction and literary commentary, appealing to those interested in historical fiction and literary collections.
Official synopsis Publisher
The novel is based on the (fictional) “Everhard Manuscript” written by Avis Everhard which she hid and which was subsequently found centuries later. In addition, this novel has an introduction and series of (often lengthy) footnotes written from the perspective of scholar Anthony Meredith. Meredith writes from around 2600 AD or 419 B.O.M. (the Brotherhood of Man). Jack London writes at two levels, often having Meredith condescendingly correcting the errors of Everhard yet, at the same time, exposing the often incomplete understanding of this distant future perspective.
