The Little Lady of the Big House is a novel by American essayist Jack London. The story concerns a circle of drama. The hero, Dick Forrest, is a farmer with a graceful streak (his "oak seed tune" reviews London's play, "The Acorn Planters.").

Produktbeschreibung
The Little Lady of the Big House is a novel by American essayist Jack London. The story concerns a circle of drama. The hero, Dick Forrest, is a farmer with a graceful streak (his "oak seed tune" reviews London's play, "The Acorn Planters."). His better half, Paula, is a fiery, athletic, and physically mindful lady (in one scene, she rides a steed into a "swimming tank," arising in "a white smooth slip of a swimsuit that shaped to her structure like a marble-carven veiling of curtain.") Paula, as Charmian, is dependent upon sleep deprivation; and Paula, as Charmian, can't bear youngsters. In light of a perusing of Charmian's journal, Stasz recognizes the third vertex of the triangle, Evan Graham, with two genuine men named Laurie Smith and Allan Dunn. Indeed, even minor characters can be distinguished; Forrest's worker Oh My looks like London's valet Nakata. The long-unshaven vagrant rationalist Aaron Hancock looks like the genuine deep rooted whiskery vagabond logician Frank Strawn-Hamilton, who was a drawn out visitor at the London farm. Artist Haakan Frolich shows up as "the stone carver Froelig" - and painter Xavier Martinez shows up as the person "Xavier Martinez!"
Autorenporträt
Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, was an influential American novelist, journalist, and social activist. Known for his rugged tales of adventure, London gained fame with works like The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which drew from his experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush. His writing not only entertained but also addressed social issues, including workers' rights and socialism.A prolific writer, London became one of the first American authors to achieve both commercial success and international celebrity. His ability to capture the harsh realities of life and nature in his narratives established him as a key figure in American literature, especially within the Realism and Naturalism movements. Despite his success, London's personal life was marked by struggles with health and financial instability, yet he continued to write prolifically until his untimely death at the age of 40.London's legacy endures through his contributions to literature and his influence on subsequent generations of writers. His works, characterized by their vivid descriptions and exploration of human and animal instincts, remain widely read and studied, reflecting his enduring impact on American literary tradition.
