Jack London is famous American novelist who wrote a lot of wonderful books such as “White Hang”, “Martin Eden”,“To build a fire” . London was born on twelfth of January in 1876 in San-Francisco, California, USA. When he was a little boy his father was engaged in contracts and lived with his wife and two small daughters from his first marriage, Eliza and Ida, in a large, nice house on Third Street. For five years he independently learned to read and write. Outwardly, little Jack was shy and timid, but under this shyness there was a huge thirst for understanding and sympathy. London educated himself at public libraries with the writings of Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Nietzsche, usually in popularized forms. At 19 he crammed a four-year high school course into one year and entered the University of California. Also London became one of the most popular foreign authors, who was read in the Soviet Union: in terms of circulation in the USSR, the American overtook Hans Christian Andersen. In the last two years of his life, he endured bouts of dysentery, gastric disorders and rheumatism. He and his wife made two extended recuperative trips to Hawaii, but unfortunately London died on Beauty Ranch at the age of forty on twenty second of November in 1916 of uremic poisoning and a probable stroke. In 18 years, he had written 50 books, 20 of them novels.
