About Jack London
John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in 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 of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.

In this classic American adventure, Jack London explores the laws of civilization and wilderness—and the pull of instinct—through the eyes of Buck, a half Saint Bernard, half Scottish shepherd. Stolen from his comfortable life in California, Buck is sold into service as a sled dog during the Klondike Gold Rush, where returning to his primordial nature is the only way for him to survive.
London drew on his own experiences as a prospector in the Canadian wilderness, as well as the philosophies of Charles Darwin and Friedrich Nietzsche, for this enduring tale of survival.

Wronged by human and beast alike, White Fang has endured through brazen ferocity. An enemy of his kind, he is sold to a dogfighter who pits him against other canines to the death—until a Yukon gold hunter comes to his rescue and provides an opportunity for a new life. As the wolf in White Fang sleeps, kindness and compassion allow him to understand what it means to be in the confidence of man.
Considered both a companion and mirror to The Call of the Wild, this stirring adventure of friendship and survival reveals the conflicts between domesticity and instinct, as well as society and the natural world.

The Complete Short Stories of Jack London contains all of the author's stories that we could discover -- some 210 stories. The collection includes his stories of the North ("To Build a Fire," "The Race for Number Three," "Keesh, Son of Keesh," others), his tales of the Southern Seas ("Koloau the Leper," "The Water Baby," "The Terrible Solomons"), social and science fiction ("The Red One," "The Unparalleled Invasion," "Goliah"). Believe it or not, Jack London also turned out several romantic stories for women's magazines ("A Dream Image," "The Grilling of Loren Ellery"), ghost and horror stories ("Planchette", "The Eternity of Forms," "A Thousand Deaths"), and even historical fiction ("In the Time of Prince Charley"). The collection also features a foreword from the editor and a brief biography of the author.
Many literary critics consider him to have been a master of the short story, rather than a novelist, and it is difficult not to agree after perusing this collection. The 210 stories contained within will provide many days of reading pleasure.
