Jack London

John Griffith "Jack" London was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and 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. London was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel The iron heel. This collection includes "Love of life, " "A day's lodging, " "The white man's way, " "The story of Keesh, " "The unexpected, " "Brown wolf, " "The sun-dog trail, " and "Negore, the coward."
