Literature by Jack London
1900 The Son of the Wolf This book centers on the exploits of Malemute Kid, who dispenses crude but unerring justice through his cunning understanding of the people of this raw frontier territory. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the unsuspected qualities of exceptional women and on the complex relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes.1902 The Cruise of the Dazzle These are tales of high adventure drawn on Jack London's own experiences as a youth sailing on San Francisco Bay where he gained a deserved reputation as a fearless highly skilled sailor. With this book and "Tales of the Fish Patrol", additional stories of life and drama on the Bay, an exciting view of San Francisco's history is presented by one of America's great writers and storytellers. 1902 A Daughter of the Snows London's first full-length novel, first published in 1902, A Daughter of the Snows highlights the author's extraordinary gift for conveying the perils and raw living of the frozen North during the gold-rush days while illustrating the code men lived by when there was no law to guid
1906 White Fang In gripping detail, London bares the savage realities of the battle for survival among all species in a harsh, unyielding environment. White Fang is part wolf, part dog, a ferocious and magnificent creature through whose experiences we see and feel essential rhythms and patterns of life in the animal kingdom and among mankind as well. It is, above, a novel that keenly observes the extraordinary workings of one of nature¡¦s greatest gifts to its creatures: the power to adapt. Focusing on this wondrous process, London created in ¡§White Fang¡¨ a classic adventure story as fresh and appealing for today¡¦s audiences as for those who made him among the bestselling novelists of his day. 1905 War of the Classes It is a collection of essays that explain London's conversion, explore and define the classic struggle between labor and management, and remain a telling indictment of those social injustices that still exist. 1911 When God Laughs and Other Stories 1922 Dutch Courage and Other Stories 1913 The Valley of the Moon "The Valley of the Moon" is written aboard the four-masted barque, Dirigo, en route from Baltimore to Seattle in 1912. In the novel Billy and Saxon Roberts face the dismal labor situation of wage cuts, bitter and bloody strikes and the perpetual worry of unemployment that has always been the lot of those workers who have been fortunate enough to have jobs and utter despair for those who do not. Billy and Saxon, sickened by the situation in which they find themselves, leave the labor strife to set out on a quest to find a little valley of the moon where they can find a country paradise of their own.
