關於作者
Jack London (1876–1916) was a prolific American author, journalist, and social activist, heralded most notably for his adventure novels and deep engagement with the themes of nature, survival, and humanity's struggle against the elements. Born as John Griffith Chaney in San Francisco, California, London's early life was marked by poverty and hardship, driving him into a hobo's existence, which he vividly chronicles in 'The Road' (1907). This work joins his substantial oeuvre, revealing the underbelly of American society through the lens of a vagabond's journey during the economic depression of the 1890s. London's narrative style often carries a distinctive mix of naturalistic and deterministic elements, exploring the intersection of environment, fate, and human will. He is most renowned for classics such as 'The Call of the Wild' (1903) and 'White Fang' (1906), both of which reflect his fascination with the Klondike Gold Rush era—an experience that informed much of his writing. His literary artistry and exploration of social issues confer upon his work an enduring legacy, situating him as a significant figure not only in American literature but also in the broader evolution of modern thought surrounding the human condition, freedom, and the relentless pursuit of meaning amidst life's adversities.
