Jack London, an outstanding classic of American literature at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, created many novels, short stories and stories about animals, but the stories "Jerry the Islander" and "Michael, Jerry's Brother" included in this collection occupy a special place in the author's work. In them, London exposes its sharply negative attitude towards the mistreatment of our younger brothers. The heroes of these stories, two Irish terriers, brothers Jerry and Michael, after going through harsh trials: a change of owners, a shipwreck, survival in a tribe of cannibals, unequal fights with leopards, reunite with each other and find happiness in a loving family.
