Jack London

Les pirates de San Francisco (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

La baie de San Francisco est si vaste que ses tempêtes s'avèrent souvent plus désastreuses pour les grands navires que l'Océan déchaîné. Ses eaux contiennent toutes sortes de poissons, aussi sa surface est-elle continuellement sillonnée par toutes sortes de bateaux de pêche pilotés par toutes sortes de pêcheurs. Pour protéger la faune marine contre une population flottante aussi bigarrée, des lois pleines de sagesse ont été promulguées, et une Patrouille de Pêche veille à leur exécution. La vie des patrouilleurs ne manque certes pas d'émotions : maints d'entre eux ont trouvé la mort dans l'accomplissement de leur devoir, et un nombre encore plus considérable de pêcheurs, pris en flagrant délit, sont tombés sous les balles des défenseurs de la loi.

Autorenporträt

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.
