While Reading this story, a thing made me laugh, Therefore the main charterer's name of this story it was (Koskoosh!) In fact, In Persian, It is a swear! So, As It repeat again and again, It got me thinking of that Persian word!:)))

"อีกต้นแบบหนึ่งของความกักขฬะป่าเถื่อนแต่ก็กอปรไปด้วยสุนทรียรส แม้ว่ามันจะไม่มีพื้นที่สำหรับความเมตตาปรานีใดๆ เลยก็ตามที"

The law of life
To build a fire
A piece of steak

ทั้งสามเรื่อง ป่าเถื่อนและดิบทุกเรื่อง แต่ก็มีความงามในแบบของมัน แบบที่ว่าต้องใช้มันเพื่อให้มีชีวิตอยู่รอดต่อไป

เหมือนอ่านหนังสือธรรมะไปในตัว แต่ดุเดือดเลือดพล่านมากโดยเฉพาะเรื่องที่ 2 กับ 3
ชอบเรื่องที่1 สะเทือนอารมณ์ วัฏสงสารชีวิตมีเท่านี้เอง

داستانی جالب با سبک همیشگی جک لندن و نماینگر فرهنگ اسکیمویی که بیشر از همه تسلط لندن به فرهنگ و محیط آلسکا را نشون میده.

Such typical London. His stories are so often raw and hard to see to the end because you just know it isn't going to end happily.

Simplemente me ha maravillado esta historia❄❄

Jack London consigue que tiemble ante sus gélidas montañas y que te plantees, como bien indica el título de esta historia, la vida y su ley: la muerte. Me ha encantado conocer la historia de Koskoosh y sus recuerdos y su relación con la naturaleza.

Sin duda, después de haberme leído esta y "To build a Fire", puedo decir que London se está convirtiendo en un autor favorito.

Nette Atmosphäre - wenig Story und wenig Charakter.
Leider eher nichts für mich.

An old man is preparing himself for his imminent death as he watches his children and grandchildren leave him behind in place and time. This is the law of life as he knows.
