Several years after Jack London’s death, his wife Charmian released a 2-volume biography of his life. Volume I starts with the origins of his parents, John and Flora, and covers Jack’s childhood and early life growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. It also covers his oyster pirating, Klondike trips, and time spent riding the railroads. The book is full of his letters to Cloudesley Johns, Anna Strunsky, and others. The first volume ends with his voyage to Asia to cover the Japanese-Russian War. Volume II starts with his return from Korea after war-reporting and his divorce from his first wife. It covers their trip on the Snark and trips to New York and around Cape Horn. The 'bad year' when his house burns is described in detail, as is a return to Hawaii and the start of World War I. The volume ends with Jack's death in 1916.

The five notable novels from Jack London are collected in this volume for the adventurer in everyone. The Call of the Wild, Jack London s second novel, made him truly famous. Published without any great expectations for commercial success, the story of the pet dog turned wolf pack leader became a huge bestseller. White Fang, like The Call of the Wild, explores the theme of contrast between civilization and savagery when a wild wolf cub is brought up by humans only to become a champion fighting dog. The Game revolves around boxing, London s favorite sport. Joe Fleming is a prize fighter and, on the eve of his wedding, his fiancÃ(c)e agrees to watch his last ever fight. The Scarlet Plague, first published in 1912, tells of a disease that wipes out most of the world s population in 2012. The story is set 60 years later as one of the survivors attempts to pass on a lifetime of wisdom and experience to his grandsons. The Star Rover is a prison tale in which the main character endures torture sessions by entering a trance-like state, when he walks among the stars and experiences past lives.
