Jack London's life and writing are thought by many to represent the American love of adventure. He was born in San Francisco, California and quit school at 14 to become a sailor. He traveled a great deal during his short lifetime in the United States, Europe and the Far East.

When gold was discovered in Alaska in 1987, Jack London, answering the call of adventure, took part in the famous Gold Rush. His experiences in the wild northern country provided him with material for many of his later stories and novels, including To Build a Fire. Among his best- known novels are the Call of the Wild and The Sea-Woft. Jack London died in 1916 at the age of 40.
