Autorenporträt
Jack London (1876 ? 1916), nacido como John Griffith Chaney el 12 de enero de 1876 en San Francisco, fue un escritor estadounidense célebre por sus novelas de aventuras y relatos naturalistas. Proveniente de una familia humilde, trabajó en diversos oficios antes de dedicarse a la escritura. Su éxito llegó con The Call of the Wild (1903), seguido por otras obras notables como White Fang (1906) y The Sea-Wolf (1904). London viajó extensamente, y sus experiencias inspiraron muchas de sus historias. Fue un defensor de los derechos laborales y exploró temas sociales en sus escritos.
