关于作者
Jack London (1876-1916), born John Griffith Chaney, was a prolific American author known for his gripping adventure tales, social commentaries, and keen naturalist insights, which he often set against the backdrop of the northern wilderness. London’s experiences as a sailor, prospector, and wanderer during the Klondike Gold Rush enriched the authenticity and raw vitality found in his writing. His literary oeuvre reflects a unique blend of Social Darwinism, atavistic themes, and a quest for personal transcendence that have made London an enduring figure in American literature.
London’s seminal works, including ‘The Call of the Wild’ (1903), ‘White Fang’ (1906), and ‘The Son of the Wolf’ (1900), embody his distinct literary style that merges adventure with pointed social critique. ‘The Call of the Wild’, perhaps his most celebrated work, charts the transformation of Buck, a domesticated dog, into a creature of the wild, mirroring London’s views on nature and survival. In contrast, ‘White Fang’ explores the civilizing of a wild canine, set against a backdrop of human greed and redemption. ‘The Son of the Wolf’, a collection of short stories, was London’s first book and probes the life of the Klondike settlers, evoking the harsh and unforgiving environments they endure. London’s narratives, noted for their vivid depictions of the struggle for existence, reflect his own life’s hardships and adventures, and continuously stir the imaginations of readers worldwide.
