Съчинения в шест тома, Том 3

Rate this book
Този том, сравнително по-пъстър в тематично отношение, представя един роман и четири кратки повести от богатото литературно наследство на Джек Лондон.
В романа „Сърцата на тримата“ и в повестта „Кълна се в костенурките на Тасман“ водещо е приключенското начало, разбирано като върховно изпитание на човешката същност.
Повестите „Първобитният звяр“ и „Играта“ представят „спортната тематика“ в творчеството на големия американски писател, която при него винаги има и отчетливо социално звучене. То става основно в последната повест „Мексиканецът“ независимо от подчертано спортния сюжет.

Съдържание:

Сърцата на тримата Hearts of Three, 1918
Кълна се в костенурките на Тасман By The Turtles of Tasman, 1916
Първобитният звяр The Abysmal Brute, 1913

John Griffith Chaney, better known as Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.

London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of animal rights, workers’ rights and socialism. London wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam.

His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in Alaska and the Yukon during 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 about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen".
