John Barleycorn is a memoir written by Jack London, an American author and adventurer. The book is a personal account of London's struggles with alcoholism, and his journey towards sobriety. The title of the book refers to an old English folk song about the personification of barley and the production of beer and whisky. London's memoir is divided into three parts. The first part describes his early experiences with alcohol, including his first drink at the age of five and his teenage years spent drinking with his friends. The second part details his descent into alcoholism, his struggles with addiction, and the physical and mental toll it took on him. The third and final part of the book is about London's recovery and his ultimate decision to quit drinking.Throughout the book, London provides a candid and introspective look at his own life, examining the societal and psychological factors that contributed to his addiction. He also explores the larger cultural and historical context of alcohol use, including the role of alcohol in society and the impact of Prohibition.John Barleycorn is a powerful and moving memoir that provides insight into the nature of addiction and the process of recovery. London's writing is honest and raw, and his story is both personal and universal, making it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.It all came to me one election day. It was on a warm California afternoon, and I had ridden down into the Valley of the Moon from the ranch to the little village to vote Yes and No to a host of proposed amendments to the Constitution of the State of California. Because of the warmth of the day I had had several drinks before casting my ballot, and divers drinks after casting it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
