Lost Face, is a wonderful collection of seven stories by Jack London. The title story, "Lost Face" tells of a trapper ingenuously trying to avoid torture at the hands of his captors. The book also includes the all-time classic story, "To Build a Fire", telling of survival in the unforgiving wilderness. A newcomer ignores the advice of old timers and travels alone in sub-zero temperatures where survival may depend on your ability to start a fire.
