Infos

A world once vibrant, now reduced to ashes—and one man remembers it all.

In the year 2073, the earth is quiet. Civilization has crumbled, cities are ruins, and the few survivors live scattered and primitive. James Howard Smith, a former professor, is one of the last men who remembers the golden age before the Scarlet Plague—a devastating pandemic that wiped out nearly all of humanity in 2013. As he recounts his memories to his grandsons, a haunting tale of societal collapse, human fragility, and the unstoppable force of nature unfolds.

First published in 1912, The Scarlet Plague is Jack London's visionary foray into science fiction and dystopian literature. Written decades before modern post-apocalyptic fiction took shape, it eerily anticipates global pandemics and their lasting impact on humanity. A chilling yet thought-provoking masterpiece, it continues to resonate with readers over a century later.

"One of the earliest and most haunting depictions of a global pandemic in fiction."
– The Guardian

"Jack London's prophetic vision remains as urgent as it is unforgettable."
– The New York Times
