Description

Captain David Grief sails the Pacific islands through hostile rivals, risky enterprise, and hard survival. London's South Seas adventures of cunning and courage under tropical pressure. Spoken as when every port still asks whether nerve or luck will pay the next bill.

Author

Jack London (1876–1916) wrote as if survival itself were a form of literature. Born in San Francisco, he worked as a sailor, oyster pirate, and Klondike prospector before becoming one of America's first celebrity novelists — a man who earned a fortune from magazines and never stopped arguing about class, nature, and power. The Call of the Wild and White Fang made the wilderness think: dogs with inner lives, men reduced to hunger and will.
