He is one of the most famous American writers of the 20th century. Jack London was born in a poor family in San Francisco and grew up in Oakland. Although he was able to be admitted to the university, he did not have much formal education and whatever he learned, he taught himself and read many literary works in the Oakland Public Library. In 1889, he found a hard and heavy job in a canning factory. Then, with the money he borrowed from his stepmother, he bought a boat and started stealing oysters. In 1893, he went to Japan as a laborer on a sea lion hunting ship. His return coincided with the economic crisis of 1893 and labor struggles. He was unemployed and a wanderer for some time and was imprisoned in the city of "Buffalo". Then he returned to Oakland and finished high school. He really wanted to go to the University of California and after three months of intense effort, he was accepted there in the summer of the same year, but due to lack of money, he had to leave the university after one year. In 1897, he went to the town of "Dawson" in the Yukon by ship with other Klondike gold seekers. He fell ill there and the doctor treated him. The short story "Raising the Fire" is a reminder of this period of his life. After returning to Oakland, he became more involved in promoting socialism and writing. He tried to get rid of poverty and manual labor by writing and selling his works (according to himself, by selling his brain). The timing of this decision coincided with the expansion of cheap popular magazines that sought short stories, allowing him to make money from writing. He soon became a successful author and in 1900 his income from writing reached $25,000 a month, which was higher than the President of the United States. Jack London was married twice. In 1910, he bought a property with an area of ​​four square kilometers in Sonoma County in California and tried farming with innovative and special methods, but he was not successful. This property is now managed by the US government under the name Jack London Historical Park. Jack London's works are a narrative of the hardships of life in America at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. The accurate and detailed picture that he gives of that society is a source for knowing and studying the American people. He saw the scenes he depicted with his own eyes, and the heroes of most of his stories are those who were friends with him. In the writings of Jack London, the influence of the thoughts of "Charles Darwin", "Herbert Spencer", "Karl Marx" and "Friedrich Nietzsche" is obvious. These works, which sometimes take on a strong naturalistic color, are often very detailed social analyses. 00:00:00 - To Kill a Man 00:21:08 - Samuel 00:42:14 - Three Uniform Men 01:10:10 - Above the Black 01:19:29 - In a Madhouse 01:32:17 - Returning home 01:48:47 - The Hobo and the Fairy
