This vintage text contains Jack London's 1911 non-fictional work, "The Cruise of the Snark". It is a fabulously illustrated book that chronicles his sailing adventure in 1907 across the south Pacific. London taught himself celestial navigation and the basics of sailing during the course of this adventure, and describes these details to the reader. This text will appeal to fans and collectors of London's work, and it would make for a great addition to collections of sailing literature. John Griffith "Jack" London (1876 - 1916) was a famous American author, journalist, and social activist. Many antiquarian books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
Published in 1904, and drawing on London's own experience on board a sealing ship, The Sea-Wolf describes the struggle between the civilized and the pagan, between the values of the ruthless sea-captain, Wolf Larsen, and the moral, literary Humphrey Van Weyden. One of his most popular novels, it also reveals London's preoccupation with the Nietzschean idea of the superman, and his interest in the brute underlying social behaviour.

Published in 1913, this harrowing, autobiographical 'A to Z' of drinking shattered London's reputation as a clean-living adventurer and massively successful author of such books as White Fang and The Call of the Wild.

Als Welpe wird Weißzahn von einem Indianer gefangen und nach langem Widerstand gezähmt. Doch bis der Wolf sich wirklich unterordnet, besteht er manchen gefährlichen Kampf gegen Mensch und Tier. Der Roman ist mehr als eine packende Abenteuergeschichte: Jack London stellt deutliche Analogien zwischen Menschen- und Tierwelt her und thematisiert den für ihn zeitlebens ungelösten Zwiespalt zwischen Individualismus und Sozialismus.
