Jack London is my favourite writer.His books are
realistic and true to life.And that is why I think him to be one of the best
American writers. Jack London was born in 1876 in San-Fransisco.At the age of
ten he began to earn for his living.
In 1894 he attended Oakland high school for a short
time and then had a year at the University of California.
In 1897 he took part in the Klondike gold rush.Jack
London found no gold,but he could accumulate much experience and material for
his stories and novels.
In 1902 he visited London.For three months.Jack London
lived in the slums of East End and saw the life of its inhabitants.In his book “The
people of the Abyss” he gave a realistic picture of the life of people in London”s East End.
Jack London was a member of the American
Labour party and took an active part in the working class movement.He took
great interest in the Russisan revolution of 1905,and in his novel “The Iron
Heel”,written under the influence of his revolution,Jack London gave a vivid
picture of the working class struggle.
Jack London published about fifty books:short
stories,novels,and essays.Many of his stories deal with sea life and adventures.One of his best
publications is “Martin Iden” a semi-biographical novel.The story of the “Love
of life” was one of his beloved stories as well and it is still estimated to be
one of the strongest stories.
