A scientist named Edward desperately searches for his brother, Daniel, who was lost at sea. Years later, Edward encounters a mysterious survivor of the shipwreck--a man who claims to know Daniel's fate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe survivor's story plunges into a nightmare narrative of an isolated island where men, stripped of social convention, devolve into a savage state, creating their own brutal, philosophical dictator. Is this a terrifying account of primal regression, or the delusion of a broken mind? This story is a fascinating departure from Sinclair's usual political themes, exploring the \"survival of the fittest\" in a context far removed from the Chicago stockyards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Upton Sinclair\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantasy and Horror Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.08d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447405023","brand":"Fantasy and Horror Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086233559155,"sku":"9781447405023","price":18.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_7cded923-ba18-4836-8551-d5c273e66b49.jpg?v=1781012940","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-overman-fantasy-and-horror-classics-9781447405023","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
