Jack London
Jack London (1876–1916) was an American writer, journalist, and adventurer best known for his rugged adventure novels and stories of survival.
Born in San Francisco, California, London worked as a sailor, gold prospector, and war correspondent, experiences that deeply influenced his writing. His most famous works, "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang", explore themes of nature, survival, and the primal struggle for dominance.
A pioneer of realistic adventure fiction, London’s stories often depicted harsh environments and the resilience of the human (and animal) spirit. His bold storytelling and firsthand experience with the frontier and working-class life made him one of America’s most celebrated literary figures.
