Produktbeschreibung

Stories from Northland. THE GOD OF HIS FATHERS (passage) On each hand extended the timberland primitive, - the home of boisterous parody and quiet misfortune. Here the battle for endurance kept on pursuing with all its old ruthlessness. Briton and Russian were still to cover in the Land of the Rainbow's End - and this was its actual heart - nor had Yankee gold at this point bought its huge area. The wolf-pack actually gripped to the flank of the cariboo-crowd, singling out the powerless and the huge with calf, and pulling them down as callously as were it a thousand, thousand ages into the past. The scanty natives actually recognized the standard of their bosses and medication men, drove out awful spirits, consumed their witches, battled their neighbors, and ate their foes with a relish which commended their tummies.

Autorenporträt

Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California, was an American novelist, journalist, and activist. He is considered a pioneer of commercial fiction and a key figure in the rise of American magazines. London became one of the first American authors to achieve international fame and wealth through his writing. His works, which often explored themes of survival, individualism, and nature, were heavily influenced by thinkers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Charles Darwin, and Karl Marx. London married twice; his first wife was Elizabeth Maddern, whom he married in 1900 and divorced in 1904, and his second wife was Charmian London, whom he married in 1905 and remained with until his death. He had two daughters, Joan and Becky London. Jack London's adventurous spirit was reflected in his personal life, as well as in his writing, where he drew from his own experiences, including his time in the Klondike and his travels around the world. He passed away at the age of 40 on November 22, 1916, in Glen Ellen, California.
