Beschreibung

""Children of the Frost"" is a collection of short stories written by the famous American writer Jack London. The book features eight stories that are set in the harsh and unforgiving environment of the Yukon and Alaska during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The stories explore the lives of the people who lived in these remote areas and the challenges they faced in their daily lives. The characters in the stories are often forced to confront their own mortality and the brutal realities of life in the wilderness. Some of the stories feature themes of survival, while others explore the complexities of human relationships and the struggle for power and control. Overall, ""Children of the Frost"" is a compelling and thought-provoking collection of stories that offers readers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived on the edge of civilization in the frozen north.""""And further, O Gnob, thou art chief of the Tana-naw; and I, Keesh, the son of Keesh, am chief of the Thlunget. Wherefore, when my seed springs from the loins of thy daughter, there shall be a friendship between the tribes, a great friendship, and Tana-naw and Thlunget shall be brothers of the blood in the time to come. What I have said I will do, that will I do. And how is it with you, O Gnob, in this matter?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, was an influential American novelist, journalist, and social activist. Known for his rugged tales of adventure, London gained fame with works like The Call of the Wild and White Fang, which drew from his experiences during the Klondike Gold Rush. His writing not only entertained but also addressed social issues, including workers' rights and socialism.A prolific writer, London became one of the first American authors to achieve both commercial success and international celebrity. His ability to capture the harsh realities of life and nature in his narratives established him as a key figure in American literature, especially within the Realism and Naturalism movements. Despite his success, London's personal life was marked by struggles with health and financial instability, yet he continued to write prolifically until his untimely death at the age of 40.London's legacy endures through his contributions to literature and his influence on subsequent generations of writers. His works, characterized by their vivid descriptions and exploration of human and animal instincts, remain widely read and studied, reflecting his enduring impact on American literary tradition.
