When God Laughs And Other Stories is a collection of short stories that you will enjoy. When God Laughs: makes London famous, including the battle for survival in the face of adversity, the baser instincts of human nature, and workplace abuse in industrialized civilizations. The Apostate: a young man who is troubled by the unfavourable workplace conditions. At spite of being brutalised by the inhumane working conditions in a textile factory, he eventually finds some kind of freedom. Just Meat: In order to get their hands on a cache of freshly stolen jewelry, two robbers arrange other's deaths. Make Westing: is a tale of a crooked sea captain torturing and abusing his crews during nightmare trips. A Piece of Steak: It depicts the ageing boxer's desperate struggles as he engages a younger opponent for the majority of a grueling twenty-round fight. All these stories distinctively and brilliantly uncover solid perspectives on human instinct at its worst or could express it more strongly than Jack London.
