Jack London: Writer of Adventure

By Martha Rhynes

During his lifetime, Jack London was the most popular and prolific writer in America. Readers idolized him. Unaware of his early struggles to become a published writer, they loved his action-packed stories with vivid descriptions and psychologocal insights into human and animal behavior. Magazines published ninety-nine of his short stories and articles. London wrote twenty-one novels, nine non-fiction books, eighteen anthologies, and three plays. In addition to his Klondike gold rush stories and sea adventures, he wrote articles dealing with prison reform and radical economic and social theories. He was a war correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War(1904-1905). His most famous novels are The Call of the Wild, The Sea Wolf, White Fang, Martin Eden, and The Iron Heel. London left an amazing literary legacy: golden nuggets awaiting a readers discovery between the covers of his books.
