Apie šią el. knygą
The story follows the unnamed protagonist and his irrational hatred of John Claverhouse, a man with a "moon-face". The protagonist clearly states that his hatred of him is irrational, saying: "Why do we not like him? Ah, we do not know why; we know only that we do not. We have taken a dislike, that is all. And so I with John Claverhouse." The protagonist becomes obsessed with Claverhouse, hating his face, his laugh, his entire life. The protagonist observes that Claverhouse engages in illegal fishing with dynamite and hatches a scheme to kill Claverhouse. (Wikipedia)
Apie autorių
Jack London, born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876, in San Francisco, California, emerged as one of the most compelling and influential American writers of the early 20th century. His life was a tapestry of adventure and hardship, which profoundly shaped his literary voice. London's early years were marked by poverty, leading him to work in various grueling jobs, from a cannery worker to a sailor, experiences that would later infuse his writing with authenticity and vigor.A fervent socialist, London's political views often stirred controversy. He was an outspoken advocate for workers' rights and critiqued the capitalist system, themes that resonated through his works and public speeches. His involvement with the Socialist Labor Party and his writings on social issues made him a polarizing figure, admired by some for his courage and reviled by others for his radicalism.London's literary contributions are vast and varied, with his most famous works including "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang." His stories often explored the brutal realities of nature and the human condition, reflecting his belief in Social Darwinism and the struggle for survival. These themes captivated readers and influenced contemporary writers, including Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell, who admired London's raw, unflinching prose.Beyond his literary achievements, London was a pioneer in the field of science fiction, with works like "The Iron Heel" anticipating future dystopian narratives. His adventurous spirit led him to the Klondike Gold Rush, the South Seas, and beyond, experiences that enriched his storytelling and cemented his legacy as a literary giant.Jack London's life and work continue to intrigue modern readers, offering a window into the tumultuous era of American expansion and the human spirit's resilience. His revolutionary ideas and fearless exploration of life's harsh realities remain relevant, inspiring new generations to question, explore, and dream.
