Dzhek London byl matrosom na promyslovoj shkhune, kochegarom, uchilsja v Kalifornijskom universitete, pytal schaste na zolotykh priiskakh Aljaski, sluzhil voennym korrespondentom na Russko-japonskoj vojne. No nashel svoe istinnoe prizvanie - pisatelja. Ego udivitelnye romany o cheloveke i mire prirody pokorili chitatelja blagodarja svoej surovoj pravde. Dzhek London umel izobrazhat surovye obstojatelstva zhizni i geroicheskoe protivostojanie im kak nikto iz amerikanskikh pisatelej. Ego proizvedenija obdajut vetrami dikikh prostranstv i kholodom nastojaschego besprijutnogo Severa. Knigi o zhivotnykh - eto, byt mozhet, samoe gumannoe iz napisannogo ljudmi. Takie raznye - milye, pugajuschie, bezzaschitnye, otvazhnye, - zachastuju imenno zveri uchat nas i nashikh detej tomu, chto takoe predannost, samopozhertvovanie, ljubov, chto takoe - byt chelovekom.
