the call of the wild and selected stories

I decided to read this because I wanted to read Christophe Chabouté's new graphic novel adaptation, Jack London's To Build a Fire. The buildings and property were later preserved as Jack London State Historic Park, in Glen Ellen, California. London's ashes were buried on his property, not far from the Wolf House. London died November 22, 1916, in a sleeping porch in a cottage on his ranch. He wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel, The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam. London was part of the radical literary group, 'The Crowd,' in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, and socialism. He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as 'The Pearls of Parlay', and 'The Heathen'. His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories, 'To Build a Fire', 'An Odyssey of the North', and 'Love of Life'. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing.
