Jack London: A Biography
Preview: Hear it

The Call of the Wild was not only a book by Jack London. It may very well have been his own personal credo, as Daniel Dyer makes clear in this gripping biography of the famed author and adventurer. While researching Jack London, biographer Daniel Dryer uncovered an amazing truth that Londons real life was just as rich and exciting as the stories and characters he created. Equally adept in writing as he was at thrillseeking, London left school at age eleven to begin his lifelong courtship of adventure. He worked as a seal hunter, an oyster pirate, and a factory worker. And by the time of the Klondike gold rush, he was well on his way to becoming one of the worlds most popular writers. This comprehensive biography takes the reader into the mind and life of this memorable author.
