Zbiór 12 opowiadań Jacka Londona. Akcja większości z nich rozgrywa się na
dalekiej północy, wśród ludów eskimoskich (Mistrz tajemnicy, Napój
hiperbojerów, Wiara w człowieka, Wielka niewiadoma), indiańskich
(Sprzysiężenie starców), poszukiwaczy złota i podróżników (Nieoczekiwane,
Rozstajne drogi). Historię niezwykłego odkrycia pewnego poszukiwacza
przedstawił także autor w opowiadaniu Szczerozłoty kanion. Jedno z opowiadań
(Yah! Yah! Yah!) dotyczy dzikiego ludu tubylczego na jednym z atoli w Oceanii,
którzy mordowali wszystkich przybyłych, ale tylko do pewnego wydarzenia. W
opowiadaniu Wróg świata przedstawiono fantastyczną wizję mordercy-fanatyka,
który wypowiedział wojnę ludzkości. Dwa pozostałe opowiadania - Na południe od
toru oraz Złoty mak mają charakter społeczno-obyczajowy: w pierwszym z nich
pewien nobilitowany wykładowca akademicki co jakiś czas przebiera się w
robotnika, prowodyra strajków, w drugim z kolei pewien człowiek próbuje
upilnować własnego pola niezwykłych maków, które jest stale rozkradane przez
okolicznych mieszkańców.
