Jack London was an American author of adventure novels and stories. He is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild, Sea Wolf and White Fang. At his peak, he was the highest paid and the most popular of all living writers. Because of early financial troubles, he was largely self-educated past grammar school. London used his own life experiences in his writing. He spent time in the Klondike during the Gold Rush and also worked as (or was) an oyster pirate, a seaman, a sealer and a hobo.

Jack London’s debut novel was The Cruise of the Dazzler, published in 1902. Below is a list of Jack London’s books in order of when they were first released:

Jack London Synopsis: The Call of the Wild by Jack London is set in the Yukon during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush – when strong sled dogs were in high demand. Buck is a domestic dog living at a ranch in the Santa Clara valley of California. Stolen from his home and sold into the brutal existence of an Alaskan sled dog, he reverts to atavistic traits. Buck is forced to adjust to, and survive, cruel treatments and fight to dominate other dogs in a harsh climate. Eventually he sheds the veneer of civilization, relying on primordial instincts and lessons he learns, to emerge as a leader in the wild.
