Tietoa tästä äänikirjasta
Jack London (1876—1916) was an outstanding American writer, publicist and public figure, the author of numerous adventure stories and tales.
Jack London gained his first and most lasting fame as the author of tales of the Klondike gold rush. This, his first collection of stories, draws on his experience in the Yukon. The stories tell of gambles won and lost, of endurance and sacrifice, and often turn on the qualities of exceptional women and on the relations between the white adventurers and the native tribes.
Short story written by Jack London The Sun of the Wolf consists of a single man who is known as Mckenzie or “Scruff”. The story tells of the hardships of what single men had to endure on the frontier. Often men would venture on journeys that may consist of months or even years just in order to find the right suitor. Scruff had been the toughest of the tough and had lasted the longest on the frontier without the company of a woman.
This story connects with naturalism by showing that nature can be just as cruel as it can be forgiving if someone is alone on the frontier.
