After getting his feet wet, he is unable to build the crucial fire that might save his life. A certain fear of death, dull and oppressive, came to him. This fear quickly became poignant as he realized that it was no longer a mere matter of freezing his fingers and toes, or of losing his hands and feet, but that it was a matter of life and death with the chances against him. This means the manโs doom is sealed. For Jack London, his prose becomes a powerful vehicle for disseminating grim message.

Jack London was an American novelist and short-story writer. He was one of the most extensively translated of American authors in the 20th century. Londonโs best-known works are: The Call of the Wild and White Fang. They depict elemental struggles for survival. In the beginning, the author set himself a daily schedule of producing sonnets, ballads, jokes, anecdotes, adventure stories, or horror stories.
His first book, The Son of the Wolf: Tales of the Far North, a collection of short stories, gained a wide audience. Later on, to compensate the urgency of writing for money, London wrote The Cruise of the Snark in 1911, describing his adventures. He also wrote two autobiographical novels of considerable interest: The Road and John Barleycorn. Other important novels are The Sea-Wolf and The Iron Heel.
