London Jack

London Jack, 2008

London se siente temporalmente atraído por el tema de la lucha por la vida y por la crueldad de esta. Como señala George Orwell: <>. La naturaleza es cruel e indiferente, parece decirnos London en sus relatos del Gran Norte. Solo los fuertes y más adaptables consiguen sobrevivir en la lucha; y a veces, ni siquiera ellos, porque, tras las penalidades o los titánicos esfuerzos para no sucumbir, siempre puede estar aguardando la broma del destino: un fatum perverso, representado por el pino que se abate inesperadamente sobre el hombre que conduce el trineo o el hielo traidor que se abate sobre los pies del caminante.

The Classic Works of Jack London

London Jack, 2014

From White Fang to The Iron Heel, The Call of the Wild to The People of the Abyss, London's novels are intense and atmospheric, and deserve their standing and reputation as some of the most exciting adventure stories ever put to paper. Jack London was highly qualified to be one of the 20th century's greatest writers of adventure stories, for he was one of its greatest adventurers. He was, to name but a few of his many occupations, an oyster pirate, government patrolman, seal hunter, gold prospector, war correspondent, landowner and tramp. From his vast and varied life experiences he drew inspiration for over fifty books in a literary career spanning only seventeen years. His work is remarkable, vivid and exciting, much like the author himself. From The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which rank as two of the best dog stories ever written, to the sea-based The Sea-Wolf and the social critiques of The People of the Abyss and The Iron Heel, Jack London's variety of work, not to mention the sheer quality, place him at the forefront of 20th century classic fiction.

White Fang

London Jack, 2014

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Fear urged him to go back, but growth drove him on...' Set in the frozen forests of the Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s, 'White Fang' tells the story of a young wolf-dog's journey from the wild into human territory. As White Fang learns that civilisation is every bit as vicious and violent as nature — and that survival is only awarded to the fittest — we too see how instinct, sensation and emotion drive every one of us. Published in 1906 to wide and instant acclaim, this is a remarkable and moving look at the timeless relationship between man and dog. Подробнее

The Call Of The Wilde and White Fang

London Jack, 2004

Presented together in one volume, here are two of the greatest and most popular animal stories ever written. Even to designate them 'animal stories' seems to undervalue them since these tremendous works are so much more than mere children's tales. The Call of the Wild tells how Buck, a domestic dog, is kidnapped from California to pull sleds in the Arctic wastes. In the second story, White Fang, three-quarter wolf and one-quarter dog, endures considerable suffering in the Arctic before being taken to live in California. The two narratives are remarkable for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which London imagines life from a non-human perspective. Подробнее
