Passed from master to master, Buck embarks on an extraordinary journey. Jack London (1876-1916), was an American author, journalist, and social activist. This masterpiece, set during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, is based on the author's experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness. Its great popularity and success made a reputation for Jack London. This enthralling adventure is a must-read of American classic literature and will delight readers of all ages.

Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
