Two novellas by Jack London
Author of more than fifty books, Jack London,
born in San Francisco, grew up across the bay in Oakland. Variously a
tramp, a fisherman, a longshoreman, and a sailor, London also worked as
a gold prospector and a war correspondent. Among his influences are those
of Social Darwinism, Nietzsche and Marx. Although his writings suggest
a complexity of ideas, he is commonly categorized as a literary naturalist.
His adventure stories of Alaska and the Pacific continue to fascinate
new generations of readers.
In Before Adam, the protagonist relives, in
his dreams, the pre-stoneage life of one of his proto-human ancestors.
Children of the Frost is a collection of stories
set in the frozen wastes of the Yukon during the "Gold Rush".
