Jack London (1876-1916) was an influential American author and social activist, renowned for his adventure novels and short stories. Born in San Francisco, California, he grew up in poverty and left school at 14 to work various jobs, including as an oyster pirate and a sailor. London's experiences with labor shaped his socialist views and fueled his desire to write. He gained fame with "The Call of the Wild" (1903) and "White Fang" (1906), which depicted the brutal yet beautiful wilderness of the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush. His works often explored themes of survival, individualism, and the human-animal connection. London was also a passionate advocate for workers' rights and socialism, writing extensively on these topics. Despite his success, he struggled with alcoholism and health issues, passing away at the age of 40. His legacy endures through his prolific contributions to American literature.
