Biographical History

Jack London (1876-1916) was an American author and journalist. He is particularly known for his adventure novels such as The Call of the Wild and The Sea Wolf, but he also wrote plays, poetry, and more than a hundred short stories, as well as the dystopian novel The Iron Heel. Charmian Kittredge (1871-1955) was his second wife, to whom he was married from 1905 until his death. She was also an author and, after Jack's death, managed his literary estate.
