关于作者
Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California, was a pioneering figure in American literature renowned for his compelling tales of adventure and his deep engagement with social issues of his time. London’s impoverished upbringing, diverse occupations, and wide-ranging travels—including a foray into the Klondike during the Gold Rush—not only influenced his worldview but also provided rich material for his writing. His experiences informed his most notable works, which include ‘The Call of the Wild’, ‘White Fang’, and ‘The Sea-Wolf’.
London’s literary style is marked by a blend of naturalism and romanticism, often featuring characters who struggle against nature or societal constraints. His narratives are characterized by a stark realism and an exploration of the human condition, elements that have cemented his status as a significant figure in early 20th-century literature. London was also an ardent advocate of socialism, and this ideology is reflected in many of his works, such as ‘The Iron Heel’. Despite his untimely death at the age of 40 on November 22, 1916, London’s prolific output—he penned over 50 volumes of novels, short stories, and essays—has left a lasting legacy. ‘The Complete Novels of Jack London’ serves as an enduring testament to the breadth and depth of his literary contributions.
