Iron Heel

There is no need to ask the reason for my unrest. I keep thinking, I can't stop thinking. I have lived so intensely that peace and quiet have created depression in me, and I cannot help but think that death and destruction will soon confront me. The screams of the oppressed ring in my ears; As in the past, I watch sweet, pleasant bodies being torn to pieces and souls being violently torn from their proud bodies and thrown before God. We, poor people, fight against such carnage and destruction in order to bring lasting peace and well-being to our world.

Nowhere can we find a more vivid description of the mental states of people who lived in the turbulent period between 1912 and 1932 than in Jack London's The Iron Heel : their mistakes, their ignorance, their doubts, their fears, their delusions, their ethical delusions, their violent passions, their incredible baseness. and their selfishness. It is very difficult for us to understand such issues in this age of enlightenment. History tells us that these things happen, and biology and psychology tell us why they happen; But history, biology and psychology cannot keep these events alive.
