Inhaltsangabe


One of America’s finest authors, Jack London is popular worldwide for his extraordinary range of writings. His remarkable success as a short story writer came at a critical time when American literary history was slowly heading towards oblivion.
This voluminous collection of London’s short stories exemplifies the traditional American values in a naturalistic style. These stories transport the readers to the exotic isles of the pacific, the voluptuous valleys of California, and to the wildness of the high seas.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Griffith "Jack" London (1876 - 1916) was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North" and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen" and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
