John Griffith London (born John Griffith Chaney; January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first writers to become a worldwide celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. Jack London is his pen name.
This is a collection of his famous works: The call of the wild, White fang, Love of life, An odyssey of the north, To build a fire. The call of the wild has become a movie adaptation this year.
A well-structured, easy-to-read book, suitable for any e-reader, tablet or computer. The reader will go from one novel to another one, one chapter to another one as quick as possible. In this collection, we have also included a detailed biography of Jack London.

I lived in Sonoma, California for a year. One of the places I visited weekly was Jack London‘s property. It‘s now a state park and it is a fabulous place. Trails, vineyards, and his home are very carefully taken care of. It‘s wild (mountain lions are around) but it‘s very well managed. If you‘re curious, here‘s a short video about the place.

Bookwomble Love JL, such a complex character. It must have been wonderful to be able to visit his home so regularly 😊 5mo
Suet624 @Bookwomble Yes, the caretakers of the property have done a great job of educating folks on all the many scientific and agricultural experiments he did which I had been unaware of. It really is a wonderful place to spend time and I gained an elevated appreciation for both Jack and his wife. 5mo
Suet624 @kspenmoll I‘m jealous. I love that area. Have a great time! 5mo
