Jack London, whose real name was Jack Griffith Chaney, was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was one of the first authors to become a world celebrity and made a lot of money from his novels. London is best known for its adventure novels and short stories set in the rugged landscapes of Canada's Yukon Territory and the Klondike Gold Rush.
The artist London was born in San Francisco, California. His childhood was poor and he had to work to survive from an early age. He loved reading and writing, and his experiences as a sailor, gold prospector, and adventurer greatly influenced his later work.
London's most famous works include "The Call of the Wild" (1903), "White Fang" (1906), and "The Sea-Wolf" (1904). These books deal with the subject of survival, the conflict between nature and civilization, and the harsh realities of life in the wilderness.
