  Jack London: The Star Rover (The World of Jack London)
The Star Rover is a novel of prison brutality and reincarnation.
Prison officials try to break his spirit by means of a torture device called "the jacket," a canvas jacket which can be tightly laced so as to compress the whole body, inducing angina.
Standing discovers how to withstand the torture by entering a kind of trance state, in which he walks among the stars and experiences portions of past lives.

The Star Rover, his newly republished last novel, is the latter.
First of all, he remembers being a star rover, a kind of Blakean pre-existent being who carried a long glass wand and whose job was to touch every star with a long glass wand.
Missing a star means being cast into “an abyss of unthinkable and eternal punishment and guilt,” which is presumably how he wound up in his present life in jail.

 The Star Rover: Chapter 21
And we studied the sky, learned from the stars to calculate time and apportion the seasons; and we named the stars after our heroes and our foods and our devices for getting food; and after our wanderings and drifts and adventures; and after our functions and our furies of impulse and desire.
No, not even the stars abide, and yet the memory and the knowledge of them abides in me, in the spirit of me that is memory and that is eternal.
And though the stars drift, and the heavens lie, ever remains woman, resplendent, eternal, the one woman, as I, under all my masquerades and misadventures, am the one man, her mate.

 Jack London: Star Rover
It was close, sharp work in the dim light of the stars, and it was a mercy the boat was not overturned.
And here, at the end of it all, I pore over books of astronomy from the prison library, such as they allow condemned men to read, and learn that even the heavens are passing fluxes, vexed with star-driftage as the earth is by the drifts of men.
I, as all the generations of philosophers before me, know woman for what she is — her weaknesses, and meannesses, and immodesties, and ignobilities, her earth-bound feet, and her eyes that have never seen the stars.
