Meer oor hierdie e-boek

Nothing in Jack London's life was unequivocal. He was a self-taught man whose lack of formal education gave him no coherent structure for his views.

Meer oor die skrywer

Salvador Dali once called him the stupidest man in the world; Cary Grant described him as the smartest. New York Times bestselling author Robert Wernick is certainly talented.
