Лондон Джек The Son of the Wolf
Jack London (1876-1916), the famous American novelist was born in San Francisco. He grew up on the waterfront of Oakland and his schooling was intermittent. He enrolled in the University of California in 1897, but dropped out after one semester. He continued his education on his own, reading intensively. In 1897 he joined the Klondike gold rush. Since 1898 J. London began to write about his various experiences. His early stories were collected in 1900 in a volume entitled The Son of the Wolf. His best novel Martin Eden (1909), more auto-biographical than any of London's work, is concerned with his attempt to become a successful writer, and then to come to terms with that success. He traveled a lot, but being very celebrated and rich he was an unhappy man who could not reconcile his own success with the things he had seen and endured. He died at the age of 40, perhaps a suicide. . .

Писатель поэтизирует право сильного, любуется проявлениями анархического начала в своих героях. Вниманию читателей предлагаются популярные рассказы Д. Лондона: "Сын Волка", "Северная Одиссея".

London Jack The Sea-Wolf
The Sea-Wolf belongs in the honorific tradition of American sea fiction where the voyage motif became a means of exploring the meaning of life, as in Richard Henry Dana's Two Years Before the Mast (1840), Edgar Allan Poe's The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (1838), and Herman Melville's Moby Dick (1851). The dominant subject is an intellectual conflict between a ship-wrecked literary figure, Humphrey Van Weyden, and the brutal captain of a seal-hunting schooner, Wolf Larsen, who rescues Van Weyden and puts him to menial work on the schooner. The central chapters focus on the gory details of seal-hunting, and the final section shows how far Van Weyden has learned seamanship as he restores The Ghost to sailing health and returns to port with the only woman passenger, another shipwrecked figure, to plight their troth.
