Autor, jornalista e ativista social norte-americano com referências marxistas, pioneiro na sua era, fez então parte do novo mundo das revistas comerciais de ficção, tendo sido um dos primeiros romancistas a obter celebridade mundial através das suas estórias, além de uma grande fortuna. Jack London (seu pseudónimo), é um dos mais importantes marcos da literatura norte-americana do fim do século XIX e princípio do século XX. Escreveu centenas de contos, entre eles alguns visionários e magistrais que marcaram os caminhos da literatura ocidental.
