About the author
Jack London
8,085 books7,880 followersJohn 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".

I volumi di questa collana ai confermano ad altissimi livelli non solo per la grafica e la fattura, ma anche per le scelte editoriali.
Breve romanzo poco noto di London, contiene tutti i temi a lui cari che lo collocano tra i più grandi di ogni tempo: il socialismo, i rapporti tra gruppi sociali e tra l'uomo singolo e la gigantesca natura pronta a prenderti, la scoperta, l'ingegno, l'intelligenza che duetta con l'istinto. Da leggere assolutamente. Riempitivi, un po' semplici ma scritti da par suo i racconti in chiusura di volume.
Una stellina in meno per qualche refuso di troppo rispetto agli standard a cui la collana ci ha abituato.
