Jack London - his life and books "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 dryrot. 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 to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time" Jack London (1876 - 1916) Jack London Jack London fought his way up out of the factories and waterfront dives of West Oakland to become the highest paid, most popular novelist and short story writer of his day. He wrote passionately and prolifically about the great questions of life and death, the struggle to survive with dignity and integrity, and he wove these elemental ideas into stories of high adventure based on his own firsthand experiences at sea, or in Alaska, or in the fields and factories of California. As a result, his writing appealed not to the few, but to millions of people all around the world. Along with his books and stories, however, Jack London was widely known for his personal exploits. He was a celebrity, a colorful and controversial personality who was often in the news. Generally fun-loving and playful, he could also be combative, and was quick to side with the underdog against injustice or oppression of any kind. He was a fiery and eloquent public speaker, and much sought after as a lecturer on socialism and other economic and political topics. Despite his avowed socialism, most people considered him a living symbol of rugged individualism, a man whose fabulous success was due not to special favor of any kind, but to a combination of unusual mental ability and immense vitality.

Jack London State Historic Park Upper Portion of Jack London Park with view towards Sonoma Mountain "The grapes on a score of rolling hills are red with autumn flame. Across Sonoma Mountain wisps of sea fog are stealing. The afternoon sun smoulders in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive. I am filled with dreams and mysteries. I am all sun and air and sparkle. I am vitalized, organic." - Jack London How to get there : Take Highway 12 to Glen Ellen. In Glen Ellen, take Jack London Ranch Road to the park. Area Map Jack London State Historic Park was created in 1959, when a small portion - about 40 acres - of London's 1,400-acre Beauty Ranch was acquired by the state, partly through a gift from Irving Shepard, London's nephew and an heir to the London estate. The original park included London's grave, the ruins of Wolf House, and Charmian London's House of Happy Walls. Additional acreage has been added over the years, so that today the park contains more than 800 acres, including many of the ranch buildings and the cottage where London wrote much of his later work.

All Gold Canyon Aloha Oe Amateur Night ... The Wit of Porportuk Jack London Search all of Jack London Prolific American novelist and short story writer, whose works deal romantically the overwhelming power of nature and the struggle for survival. London's identification with the wilderness makes him the antecedent of the Green movement. His left-wing philosophy is seen in the class struggle novel THE IRON HEEL (1908). JOHN BARLEYCORN, which describes the London's drinking bouts, connects him with such authors as Charles Bukowski and Jack Kerouac. On the other hand, London's views about the superiority of white people and that only the strongest deserve to survive have placed him among the ultra-right conservatives. "Fiction pays best of all and when it is of fair quality is more easily sold. A good joke will sell quicker than a good poem, and, measured in sweat and blood, will bring better remuneration. Avoid the unhappy ending, the harsh, the brutal, the tragic, the horrible - if you care to see in print things you write. (In this connection don't do as I do, but do as I say.) Humour is the hardest to write, easiest to sell, and best rewarded... Don't write too much. Concentrate your sweat on one story, rather than dissipate it over a dozen. Don't loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don't get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it." - (From 'Getting into Print', first published in 1903 in The Editor magazine)

At fifteen I was a man among men, and if I had a spare nickel I spent it on beer instead of candy, because I thought it was more manly to buy beer. Now, when my years are nearly doubled, I am out on a hunt for the boyhood which I never had, and I am less serious than at any other time of my life. Guess I'll find that boyhood! Almost the first things I realized were responsibilities. I have no recollection of being taught to read or writeI could do both at the age of fivebut I know that my first school was in Alameda before I went out on a ranch with my folks and as a ranch boy worked hard from my eighth year. The second school were I tried to pick up a little learning was an irregular hit or miss affair at San Mateo. Each class sat in a separate desk, but there were days when we did not sit at all, for the master used to get drunk very often, and then one of the elder boys would thrash him. To even things up, the master would then thrash the younger lads, so you can think what sort of school it was. There was no one belonging to me, or associated with me in any way, who had literary tastes or ideas, the nearest I can make to it is that my great-grandfather was a circuit writer, a Welshman, known as "Priest" Jones in the backwoods, where his enthusiasm led him to scatter the Gospel.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks ClassicNote on Jack London Biography of Jack London Jack London embodied all the harshness and tragedy of his naturalism writing style. His life seems to have been recollected in a mostly bitter tone. The roots of his unhappy life initially sprung from the problems of his parents. His mother, Flora, had started off on the path to happiness. She was stricken with typhoid fever that not only ruined her looks but damaged her eyesight and stunted her growth. She lost her hair and wore a wig for the rest of her life, as well as a size twelve child's shoe. When Jack was eight, Eliza married a boarder in her family's home. Captain Shepard moved her and his three children to another part of Oakland. Jack was devastated. A few months later, an epidemic wiped out John's chicken coops. Discarding dreams of a successful farm, the London family also moved back to Oakland. Jack was delighted, once again proximate to Eliza and Mammie Jennie, to whom he was still very close. In the streets he learned how to fight bullies on his way to school. He was not strong, but he garnered a reputation for cunning ability to brawl. At aged fourteen, Jack graduated from grammar school. Because his family could not afford to send him to high school, he went to work at a canning factory. Fortunately, his rigorous childhood had developed a muscular physique. His childhood was a lonely one, supplemented by books from the local librarian, the first person of culture to enter Jack's life.

Sundets TruckStop presenterer: Den revolusjonære forfatteren, eventyreren og alkoholikeren: Jack London, (fødenavn Jack Chaney) kom til verden i 1876 og levde i førti år. Han var avisgutt, matros, fabrikkarbeider, fyrbøter, hundkjører, perledykker, selfanger, cowboy, gullgraver, krigskorrespondent og mye annet. Hadde han levd idag hadde han sikkert også kjørt trailer - fortrinnsvis langtransport. Jack London er eventyreren blant forfattere, men han var også sosialist, og hans handlingsmettede bøker ser verden nedenfra, fra arbeidsfolks synsvinkel. Den krasseste boka han skreiv er nok "Jernhælen", en revolusjonær roman som utkom i 1908, skrevet sommeren 1906. "Boken er en profeti om nazismen", skrev Aksel Sandemose i 30-årene. "En advarsel ingen hørte". Av Jack Londons andre store bøker er den selvbiografiske Martin Eden Avgrunnens folk og Et Landstykerliv mine favoritter. Andre klassikere er Kong Alkohol, Ulf Larsen, Runds Kapp Horn og Når Villdyret Våkner. Jack London er arbeidersønnen som gjorde karriere som verdensberømt forfatter. Da han fikk sine første manus trykt og utgitt oppfatta han det som en triumf for seg og sin klasse. På slutten av sitt liv så han på forfattergjerningen på en annen måte. "Jeg hater det yrket jeg har valgt", sa han i et intervju. "Jeg maler fram det som de kapitalistiske redaktørene vil ha, og redaktørene kjøper det som forretningsavdelingen og redaksjonssjefene tillater. Redaktørene er ikke interessert i sannheten..." Jack London døde 22. november 1916 av en overdose morfin.

The illegitimate son of an astrologer and a Welsh farm girl, he had a poverty-stricken childhood, brought up by his mother and her husband, John London. At 17, Jack London shipped as an able seaman to Japan and the Bering Sea. He was an oyster pirate, a gold-seeker in the first Klondike rush, a newspaper correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War, and in 1914 a war correspondent in Mexico. His stories, romantic adventures with realistic setting and character, began to appear first in the Overland Monthly. In 1900, The Son of the Wolf: Tales of the Far North was published. London's Klondike tales are exciting, vigorous, and brutal. The Call of the Wild (1903), about a tame dog who eventually leads a wolf pack, is one of the best animal stories ever written.

Jack London Schriftsteller 12. Januar: Jack London (eigtl. John Griffith Chaney) wird als Sohn eines Astrologen in San Francisco geboren. Da der Vater die Familie früh verläßt, wächst er bei seiner Mutter und seinem Stiefvater, dessen Nachnamen "London" er annimmt, in Oakland auf. ab 1891 London wird wegen Landstreicherei verhaftet. Januar: "To the Man on Trail" ist Londons erste veröffentlichte Kurzgeschichte. Auch sein erstes Buch "Der Sohn des Wolfs", eine Sammlung seiner besten Kurzgeschichten, wird ein großer Erfolg. London wird Mitglied der sozialistischen Partei. Der Roman "Der Seewolf" und die Tiergeschichte "Der Ruf der Wildnis" erscheinen. Beide Werke verdeutlichen Londons Auffassung vom Leben als unerbittlicher Kampf. In ihnen vermischen sich extremer Individualismus mit sozialistischen Ideen und zivilisationsfeindlichen Ansichten. In dem Roman "Der Seewolf" entwirft er das Bild eines scheiternden Übermenschen. In "Der Ruf der Wildnis" preist er im Sinne sozialdarwinistischer Ideen den Überlebenswillen in der Natur. ab 1903 In mehreren seiner Bücher, wie in dem Roman "Der Lockruf des Goldes", erzählt er von seinen Erfahrungen als Goldsucher in Alaska.
