Set in the Yukon, in the midst of the Klondike gold rush, this 1900 collection is based on London’s own experiences there. The stories feature the Malemute Kid, a force for justice in a lawless and savage land. Here are tales of desperate gamblers, of stalwart women, of deaths along the trail, of prospectors in search of the big strike.
A propos de l’auteur
Jack London (1876-1916) was born in San Francisco, the illegitimate son of a music teacher whose lover spurned her after she refused an abortion. His writings dealt with his social activism and care for the worker. Largely self-educated, London became a sailor, a hobo, a gold miner, and a socialist—all of which would find their way into his fiction.
