About this ebook
Here is the ultimate dog story, one filled with emotion, adventure, and excitement.
During the Gold Rush, Buck is snatched away from his peaceful home and brought to the harsh and bitter Yukon to become a sled dog. Will he adapt, and learn to trust men? Or will his newly awakened primitive instincts lead him to search for the freedom he has never known?
Jack London
John Griffith Chaney, conocido como Jack London (1876-1916), creció en Oakland. A los catorce años dejó el colegio y pasó su juventud trabajando como pescador, patrullero de costas o marinero a la caza de focas. También sufrió el desempleo y fue arrestado por vagabundear, hasta que se trasladó a Alaska empujado por la «fiebre del oro». Allí vivió sus experiencias más duras, pero también las que plantarían la semilla de la escritura. De ese entorno surgen sus primeros relatos y los que le granjearon fama inmediata: La llamada de la selva (1903) y Colmillo Blanco (1906), para muchos sus mejores obras. La desnutrición y sus escasas ganancias lo llevaron de vuelta a California, pero no tardó en hacerse de nuevo a la mar. Primero (1904) como corresponsal de guerra y más adelante (1907) con su propio navío, en una expedición que recorrió el mundo durante varios años y que inspiró Cuentos de los mares del Sur (1911), otro de sus títulos más conocidos. A su vuelta compró una gran propiedad, pero un incendio fortuito destruyó la nueva casa y aquello afectó profundamente a la salud del autor, ya de por sí precaria en aquel momento. Falleció en su rancho de California a los cuarenta años.
