Adventurous Storyteller
Jack London, one of America’s major writers of adventure tales, was born in California in
1876. During his life, London worked at many jobs. His broad life experiences would
become the background for his writing.
London loved to read. As a teenager, he spent many hours educating himself at the Oakland,
California, public library. He attended college at the University of California at Berkeley,
but he stayed for only six months. He thought Berkeley was “not lively enough” and wanted
to do something more exciting.
London wrote stories about working people and the hard times they had making a living. He
knew their problems first hand. He worked as a sailor, rancher, factory employee, railroad
hobo, and gold prospector, to name just a few of his many jobs.
London grew up near the waterfront in Oakland. He loved the water. When he was fifteen
years old, he bought a small sailboat called a sloop. Later he sailed to Japan on a schooner,
which is a much larger sailing boat.

Adventurous Storyteller (Cont.)

Like many people of the time, London caught the Klondike Gold Rush Fever. In l897, he
headed for Alaska. He didn’t find gold, but he discovered something even more valuable.
He discovered that people enjoyed listening to the stories he made up with his vivid
imagination. London entertained the miners with story after story. Later, using his
experiences during the Gold Rush, he created many more colorful stories.
London resolved to live a full, exciting life. He once said, “I would rather be a superb meteor,
every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.” Each day, he
pushed himself. Once London determined that he was going to be a writer, nothing could
stop him. His goal was to write at least one thousand words every day. He refused to stop
even when he was sick. In eighteen years, the writer published fifty-one books and hundreds
of articles. He was the best-selling and highest-paid author of his day. Many people also
considered him to be the best writer.

The looting of Thai plant and fruit varieties for development in rival export countries is an
urgent problem, that the government must tackle by setting stricter protection measures for
the country’s intellectual property.

Australia and the US are two major countries which have been found to be developing
tropical fruits and plants. They aim to increase their export share in the international market.

Meanwhile, Taiwan - where an international fruit-research center has been established -

is trying to hard to develop new varieties of fruits to meet market demand.

Duangkamol Jiambutr, director of the Thai Trade Center in Singapore, said many new
varieties of tropical fruits such as durians from Australia, longans and lychees from China
and mangoes from Taiwan had been imported for marketing tests this year.

An official at the Thai Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry said Australia had invested
hundreds of millions of dollars in setting up a research center into tropical products. Many
strains of Thai plants were imported or brought home by Australian researchers who had
studied in Thailand.

The smuggling of such varieties had led to them being crossbred to grow in Australia with a
higher yield and bigger size than local strains. Australia aims to export these new fruit
varieties for commercial purposes.

The issue has become particularly topical since the much publicized news that US rice
researcher Chris Deren will patent a strain of Thailand’s Khao Dok Mali 105 (fragrant
jasmine rice), which he claims to have acquired from the Philippine-based International Rice
Research Institute.
