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.
Over de 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.
