作者简介
Jack London (1876–1916) was a prolific American author, journalist, and social activist, widely recognized for his adventurous and rugged prose, which often delved into themes of survival, individualism, and nature. Born John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco, California, London led a life of adventure that greatly influenced his writing. He drew upon his experiences as an oysterman, sailor, hobo, and gold prospector in the Klondike, blending these elements into his stories. London's literary style combined naturalism with elements of romanticism and was characterized by a clear, direct, and sometimes harsh exposition of his characters' struggles against their environments and themselves. Notable among his extensive body of work, 'Children of the Frost' (1902) is a collection of stories showcasing London's storytelling prowess and his ability to depict the harsh realities of life in the American North. The stories within this collection reflect the brutal and often unforgiving conditions faced by both the native inhabitants and the intruding prospectors. London's keen observation and sympathy for the oppressed are apparent in these narratives. Other seminal works by London include 'The Call of the Wild' (1903), 'White Fang' (1906), and 'The Sea-Wolf' (1904), which further attest to his place as a central figure in early American literature. His writings not only garnered him immense popularity during his lifetime but also left a lasting impact on the literary world, solidifying his reputation as a master of adventure literature and a committed commentator on the human condition.
