Jack London was an American fiction writer who was one of the pioneers of writing professionally for magazine fiction. One of his most well-known books is the still-popular Call of the Wild. His writing style is often referred to as a Naturalist style, which means that he provides vivid yet simple descriptions of natural settings and events without colouring them with any opinions or preconceived assumptions. His stories generally observe the fictional events he writes about objectively, focusing on ways to explain human behaviour scientifically or biologically rather than emotionally. Jack London gained his first and most lasting fame as the author of tales of the Klondike gold rush. This, his first collection of stories draws on his experience in the Yukon. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the qualities of exceptional women and on the relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes. The Son of the Wolf is a story about a prospector who penetrates into the camp of a remote Indian tribe in the heartland of Alaska to propose to the chief of the tribe a number of fine presents for the right to take his daughter… Few writers have had such an extensive output of work as Jack London. During his 15-year career, he wrote 49 books, including novels, short-story collections, plays and political pamphlets – a number equalling more than three books a year.
