Synopsis
"Raw and Raked, Wild and Free..."
...that was the way Jack London saw life, and the more he lived it the more enamored of it he became. "All I saw," he once wrote, "was glamor of conquest, of scarlet adventure and yellow gold. ...The life was brave and wild, and I was living the adventure I had read so much about."
Brilliant, poetic, swift with violence and action, his stories clearly illustrate the unique spirit of his unbridled genius. Critics admitted that the young firebrand -- "while frightfully primitive" -- was challenging Poe, Kipling and Melville as a one-in-a-million storyteller. The tales in this volume have been thrilling readers for nearly half a century.

À propos de l'auteur
Jack London (1876–1916) was born John Chaney in Pennsylvania, USA. In 1896 he was caught up in the gold rush to the Klondike River in northwest Canada, which became the inspiration for The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906). London is one of the most widely read writers in the world.

Etat : Fair. This exhilarating volume collects twenty-one stories of adventure in the Far North, the South Seas, and beyond, from the acclaimed author of The Call of the Wild and White Fang. Told in the colorful and exciting style that became the hallmark of Jack London's writing, these stories bring out strongly the underlying themes of all the author's works--man's reversion to the fundamental laws of self-preservation in the face of overwhelming natural forces. Whether London wrote about prizefighters, sailors, gold-seekers, or tough men and women, he portrayed them largely as he knew them in real life. These twenty-one tales range in locale from Alaska to the South Sea islands, with stories including: * "The White Silence" * "To Build a Fire" * "To The Man on Trial" * "The Law of Life" * "The Wit of Porportuk" * "The Heathen" * "A Piece of Steak" * "Love of Life" * "Lost Face" * "The Pearls of Parlay" * "An Odyssey of the North" . . . and more! Brilliant, poetic, swift with violence and action, London's stories clearly illustrate the unique spirit of his unbridled genius. Critics admitted that the young firebrand--"while frightfully primitive"--was challenging Poe, Kipling, and Melville as a one-in-a-million storyteller. N° de réf. du vendeur 00108157247
