Things should be made as simple as possible, but not any simpler- Albert Einstein
Jack London (1876-1916) |
 |
Jack London was the most successful writer in America in the turn of 20th century.
From his childhood he tasted the bitterness of poverty. At the age of ten he was selling newspapers in the streets to help his family’s poor income. Until his first writing success at the age of twenty-four, his life passed in misery. There is no surprise that he saw in socialism a chance for the salvation of others as lost as he had once been. His famous works are:
-
The Call of the Wild (1903)
-
The Sea Wolf (1904)
-
White Fang (1906)
-
Iron Heel (1908)
-
Valley of the Moon (1913)
-
Little Lady of The Big House (1916)
