He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.

White Fang And The Call Of The Wild (Signet Classics)
The biting cold and the aching silence of the far North become unforgettable backdrop for Jack London’s vivid, rousing, superbly realistic wilderness classics. ‘White Fang’ tells the story of a magnificent wolf dog born wild and free who struggles to survive and is transformed from a ferocious beast to a ‘blessed wolf’, capable of great, uncompromising love.
‘The Call of the Wild’ features a gentle domestic dog driven by the cruelty of man to abandon civilization and return to the wilderness. Each novel is filed with action and suspense. But what makes ‘The call of the wild’ and ‘The white fang’ two masterpieces of American literature is Jack London’s special knowledge of the Yukon and the behavior of humans facing nature at its cruelest, the fascinating lore of the wolf pack, and the ways of the wild itself.
Northland Stories (Penguin Classics)
Like the characters in the popular dime novels of the time, London’s heroes display such manly virtues as courage, loyalty, and steadfastness as they conftont the merciless frozen expanses of the north. Yet London breaks free of stereotypical figures and one-dimensional plots to explore deeper psychological and social questions of self-mastery, masculinity, and racial domination. The uneasy relationship between the Native Americans and whites lies at the heart of many of the stories, while others reflect London’s growing awareness of the destruction wrought by the white incursion on Indian culture.
Northland Stories comprises nineteen of Jack London’s greatest short works, including "An Odyssy of the North" (London’s major breakthrough as a young author), "The White Silence," "The Law of Life," "The League of the Old Men," and the world classic "To Build a Fire."
