All Gold Canyon

Reader:

Jack London, pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, American novelist and short-story writer whose best-known works - among them The Call of the Wild and White Fang - depict elemental struggles for survival. During the 20th-century, he was one of the most extensively translated American authors. A self-taught professional deeply committed to his art and a supremely self-disciplined writer who churned out forty books and a thousand articles in less than twenty years, London never tired of declaring that he hated to write and that his motivations were entirely mercenary. Though he was a proletarian by background and was his era's most class-conscious writer, London was equally a man avid for wealth and fame. During the remainder of his life, London wrote and published steadily, completing some 50 books of fiction and nonfiction in 17 years. Although he became the highest-paid writer in the United States at that time, his earnings never matched his expenditures, and he was never freed of the urgency of writing for money. His short story All Gold Canyon was first published in 1905. “It was the green heart of the canyon, where the walls swerved back from the rigid plan and relieved their harshness of line by making a little sheltered nook and filling it to the brim with sweetness and roundness and softness. Here all things rested.” Listen online to free English audiobook "All Gold Canyon” on our website to experience Jack London's short story.
