    Jack London

    Jack London was born in San Francisco on January 12th 1876, the unwanted child of a spiritualist mother and astrologer father. He was raised by Virginia Prentiss, a former slave, before rejoining his mother and her new husband, John London. Largely self-educated, the teenage Jack made money stealing oysters and working on a schooner before briefly studying at the University of Berkeley in 1896. He left to join the Klondike Gold Rush a year later, a phenomenon that would go on to form the background of his literary masterpieces, The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906). Alongside his novel writing London dabbled in war reportage, agriculture and politics. He was married twice and had two daughters from his first marriage. London died in 1916 from complications of numerous chronic illnesses.

      The cover on my original edition copy implied this would be a story about a young man and his dog, so I was surprised to find it was a collection of short stories, loosely connected, about whites during the Alaskan gold rush. Not appropriate for children, it depicts all the vices one might imagine at such a frontier. The historic, sexist view of women is quite noticeable.London is a good writer, but this is not a book I care to own.
    • 4/5
      one can tell these stories were individually written for magazines before put together for this collection. Probably the easiest way to tell is, although they all involve the same characters and the same places, the mood of the writer is disjointed. There are some good pieces here, but the meloncholy mood of two of the pieces offsets enjoyment of the whole. still, if you are a London fan, this collection is a must. If you just luke-warm on his work, skip it.
