Description

Sailor Martin climbs from poverty into writing fame for love of Ruth Morse, then finds success emptier than hunger. Class, books, and a mind that will not rest. Spoken as London heat when arriving costs the reason you started.

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.
