This collection of tales set in the Hawaiian islands, published in 1912, contains some of London’s most popular stories, including ‘The House of Pride, ‘ ‘Koloau the Leper’ and ‘The Sheriff of Kona.’ London’s love for Hawaii and its people, as well as his first-hand knowledge of the islands and their history, informs these tales.
Об авторе
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.
