John Griffith “Jack” London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire”, “An Odyssey of the North”, and “Love of Life” . He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay ” and “The Heathen ”, and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf . Often troubled by physical ailments, during his thirties London developed kidney disease of unknown origin. He died of renal failure on November 22, 1916 on the ranch. 杰克·伦敦,美国著名的现实主义作家。他在一个既无固定职业又无固定居所的家庭中长大。24岁开始写作,去世时年仅40岁。从1900年起,杰克·伦敦连续发表和出版了许多小说,讲述美国下层人民的生活故事,揭露资本主义社会的罪恶。他的作品大都带有浓厚的社会主义和个人主义色彩。他的作品在全世界都广为流传,是最受中国读者欢迎的外国作家之一。杰克·伦敦一生著述颇丰,16年中留下了19部长篇小说、150多篇短篇小说以及大量文学报告集,还写了3个剧本以及相当多的随笔和论文。最著名的有《马丁·伊登》、《野性的呼唤》、《白牙》、《热爱生命》等小说。 本书为英文原版,收录了杰克·伦敦36篇经典短篇小说,同时提供配套英文朗读免费下载,以便读者在欣赏原汁原味作品的同时,也能提升英语阅读水平。
