Stories - London by Jack

Jack London's Stories is the gold foundation of world adventure literature, which has become the unbeatable hymn of human courage, unbeatable will and cruel beauty of the original nature. In his famous northern and sea cycles, the writer has created a unique, hard and at the same time incredibly romantic world, where a person daily challenges fate, nature and himself. The foundation of London's little prose is the legendary "Northern Stories" (collections of "The Wolf's Son", "The God of His Fathers", "Love to Life" etc.), born from the author's personal experience during the time of the golden fever on Clondike. The main characters here are gold seekers, Indians, ships and sailors - strong, straight people with a strict code of honor. In such works as "Love to Life"**, the reader hiding his breath follows an unnamed hero who, being a dedicated companion, with a broken foot and without the patterns, runs on the ice desert, defeating death and the hungry wolf. In the story of "Coster"**, the author with a scary realism preparates the rock mistake of a man who is left one-on-one with a seventy-degree cold. Moving to the southern seas (The Southern Sea Stories cycle), London turns the ice into tropical storms and exotic islands, but leaves the former nickel of passions: the fight against diseases, nature and the fraud of human nature. His stories are without sentimentality—it is the triumph of the philosophy of the “life break”, where the strongest survives, but the victory is achieved not only by the physically strong, but by the strong spirit. These are deep stories of true friendship, loyalty, the boundary between civilization and wildness, as well as the primitive force that forces man to struggle until the last breath. **About what the book is in three words:** Will, Character, Spirit. To all lovers of exciting adventures, travel stories and survival literature, as well as those looking for a powerful, inspiring classics that can instantly hit, return faith in human possibilities and strengthen character.
