Synopsis "The Cabaret of the last Chance: John Barleycorn"

John Barleycorn", published in France under the title "The Cabaret of Last Chance", is a fictionalized autobiography. These alcoholic memories were intended to support the advocates of prohibition. As the soap opera in the Saturday Evening Post, all anti-alcoholics use it as a standard. Neither autobiography, nor memoirs, nor narrative, but at the same time, the narrator tells us how, throughout his life, a kind of double accompanied him permanently: John Barleycorn, who in America is the personification of the alcohol. Why drink, how, under what circumstances? Facts and gesture of whiskey, mischief and gesture of the alcoholic. "Outside, we broke the bottlenecks against the curbs, and we drank." How to stop. Is it possible to only think about it? "All the paths I followed were soaked with alcohol."

Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
