Home Introduction Biography Ranch Cottage Wolf House Museum ... Sitemap A Short Jack London Biography Page 1 of 2 I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them, I shall use my time." ack London was a man of adventure, a man of action and only he could have truly conceived such a dynamic and challenging credo as this. And only he, with his great physical strength, his intense intellect, and his turbulent spirit, could have successfully lived up to it. He died when he was only forty, but he accomplished more in this short lifetime than most men could in several lifetimes. Source: Jack London's Tales of Adventure New York: Doubleday, 1956, Introduction by and edited by Irving Shepard "Born in San Francisco in 1876 Jack London grew up in a world witnessing the settlement of the last frontier. Gone forever were the proud days of the pioneer. The country was beset with economic and cultural changes that for decades were to play havoc with the traditional American way of life. It was a world in transition. The easygoing days of an economy dominated by agriculture were being replaced by the world of machine, the factory, and the financial titan. America in the late 1800s was a battleground for unscrupulous tycoons and robber barons. The Far West was torn apart by the struggles of the big railroad interests. Financial panics followed one after the other as the "Big Four" plotted and conspired to gain more money and power. The economy remained in a state of flux. And the people were the pawns.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History LONDON, JACK , author. London's life and writing played a major role in reshaping the ideas of authorship and of literary expression in early twentieth-century America. Out of a San Francisco childhood of extreme poverty and hard manual labor—he was cannery worker, oyster pirate, and seaman while still in his teens—London burst on the literary scene at the turn of the century with fresh subject matter and iconoclastic beliefs. He achieved almost immediate success. Drawing upon his year in the Klondike during the Alaskan gold rush of 1897-1898, his initial and probably still most significant body of work consisted of short stories and novels set in the Far North. In them men and beasts test their strength and knowledge against the elemental forces of nature and the rapaciousness of other men. London's best Klondike fiction was collected in his first book, The Son of the Wolf (1900), and other volumes and reached its peak in the short novels The Call of the Wild (1903), his most famous novel, and

FRtR Outlines American Literature The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Jack London (1876-1916) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren The Rise of Realism: 1860-1914: Jack London (1876-1916) Index A poor, self-taught worker from California, the naturalist Jack London was catapulted from poverty to fame by his first collection of stories, The Son of the Wolf (1900), set largely in the Klondike region of Alaska and the Canadian Yukon. Other of his best-sellers, including The Call of the Wild (1903) and The Sea-Wolf (1904) made him the highest paid writer in the United States of his time. The autobiographical novel Martin Eden (1909) depicts the inner stresses of the American dream as London experienced them during his meteoric rise from obscure poverty to wealth and fame. Eden, an impoverished but intelligent and hardworking sailor and laborer, is determined to become a writer. Eventually, his writing makes him rich and well-known, but Eden realizes that the woman he loves cares only for his money and fame. His despair over her inability to love causes him to lose faith in human nature. He also suffers from class alienation, for he no longer belongs to the working class, while he rejects the materialistic values of the wealthy whom he worked so hard to join. He sails for the South Pacific and commits suicide by jumping into the sea. Like many of the best novels of its time, Martin Eden is an unsuccess story. It looks ahead to F. Scott Fitzgerald's

49. The Scab By Jack London, (1876-1916) Posted Oct. 19, 2002 Benedict Arnold was a traitor to his country. A scab is a traitor to his God,his country, his family and his class. Author Jack London (1876-1916) http://dawn.thot.net/scab.html

The Scab by Jack London, After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, he had some awful substance left with which he made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a water brain, a combination backbone of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man (or woman) has a right to scab so long as there is a pool of water to drown his carcass in, or a rope long enough to hang his body with. Judas was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab has not. Esau sold his birthright for a mess of pottage. Judas sold his Savior for thirty pieces of silver.

- Essay - No Suicide! Protocol of a discussion On the unreliability of biographers by Reinhard Wissdorf translated by Jack Mulder B asically it was never a question for me: Jack London, proud adventurer, was finally brought to his wits' end by life and all his problems and put bullet in his head. And all of thirty books I read all merely offered the same short information: suicide. Until I finally went to Glen Ellen myself, that is. I hotfooted it all over the ranch, visited the venerable ruins of the wolfhouse, and of course entered it against the rules (well, here you are, now I can own up to it). I shed a tear at his grave (right, I know his body's not in there, because had himself burned, but it's a nice gravestone!). And then, in the museum, I happened upon a strange document. A Death Certificate. Signed by four M.D.s: death by kidney failure. At first, I didn't recognize it for what it was. But later, back home in Germany, it started worming it's way into my consciousness. Waddayamean? Kidney failure I right away took a look at what DTV (a German paperback publishing house) had to say to this, and came up with the probably silliest biographical note ever: Jack London was born on Dec. 12th, 1876 in San Francisco and grew up in poor circumstances. He tried his luck working in a factory, as an oyster pirate, hoodlum, and seaman, finally got his grades and started to study. He then went to Alaska as a golddigger, lived for months in the London slums, was taken prisoner in the russian-japanese war, where he was a war correspondent, and generally travelled the world. On Nov. 22nd, 1916 on his farm the famous writer puts an end to his life ruled by alcohol and extravaganza.

John Griffith London - (1876-1916) San Francisco By Michael Kolumbic San Pedro High School, San Pedro, California I. Biography John Griffith London (1876-1916) was born on January 12, 1876 in the city of San Francisco, California. He was born to Flora Wellman whom was not married but eventually got married to John London who was a partially disabled Civil War veteran. Coming up in infancy his caretaker was Virginia Prentiss, an ex-slave who raised John up because of his mother's illness. They all moved around the San Francisco Bay Area for a while before settling in West Oakland. It was here that John completed grade school. John went out and got several jobs when coming up. He worked on a fish patrol to capture poachers, he pirated for oysters, he worked on a sealing ship, and he also joined Kelly's army of unemployed working men. This wandering didn't last forever because he eventually returned to school and graduated at the age of nineteen. During his travels he acquainted himself with the ideas and theories of Socialism. He joined the Socialist Labor Party of Oakland. He began giving speeches and publicly speaking. Although reaching far out for such things as mayor, he did have the realization of one thing, and that was: if he didn't start making a living he would just fall into the hustle and bustle of life and probably become just another factory worker. This was something he definitely didn't want. He realized that writing could be his escape, or his way out of the world he lived in but didn't want to take part of. He wanted to be his own boss and live his life like he wanted. Finally, he started submitting different works to various companies, but most of them turned him down.

58. Jack London Jack London. American author (18761916). Biography. John Griffith, alias JackLondon, was born in San Francisco the 12th January 1876. http://www.ricochet-jeunes.org/eng/biblio/author/london.html

JACK LONDON American author (1876-1916) Biography: John Griffith, alias Jack London, was born in San Francisco the 12th January 1876. He was the illegitimate son of farmers and alternated his being sailor and cow-boy. Jack London narrates his own life in Martin Eden (1909), where the hero commits suicide after a crusade across the South Seas, prophetising the novelist's tragic ending. The Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1907) where adventure, animals and exploited working classes are main characters were really successful, yet on a misunderstanding basis. Jack London joint the Muckraker movement, signing letters for the revollution, but anyway he had Nietzche as master. Revolted by the social extreme poverty of his time, "the best paid writer in the world" did not hesitate and went to live in the slums of London in order to write The People of the Abyss (1903), based on London's observations of the slums of London and illustrated with photographs taken by himself and others. But his heroes stay alone and unsociable, since they keep an idealistic and romantic image of the New World. Jack London died in 1916, in California. Jack London, author of illustrated works:
