Jack London (1876–1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist, celebrated for his vivid adventure stories and profound philosophical themes. Born into poverty in San Francisco, London worked various rugged jobs, including as a sailor and gold prospector, which deeply influenced his writing.
London’s works, including The Call of the Wild y Colmillo Blanco, often explore humanity’s relationship with nature and the struggle for survival. He was also a passionate advocate for socialism and social reform, using his platform to address issues of inequality and labor rights. Despite his untimely death at 40, London’s legacy endures as a pioneering voice in American literature.
His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in Alaska and the Yukon during 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 about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay", and "The Heathen".
Jack London wrote The Iron Heel in 1908 to explore the rise of authoritarianism and the suppression of democratic ideals through a gripping dystopian narrative. He used speculative fiction not just to entertain, but to critique capitalism and warn readers about the dangers of unchecked corporate and political power. By crafting a futuristic world dominated by an oppressive oligarchy, London called on readers to consider the fragility of freedom and the urgent need for social resistance.
