Jack London is a masterful storyteller. London spent some time living in the poorer areas of London, sleeping in workhouses and often living on the streets. This experience encouraged him to create this story. In this 1903 novel he tells the plight of the East End London poor at the end of the 1800's. The Industrial revolution has made the hardships for the lower classes insurmountable.

Jack London (1876-1916) was an American writer and activist. A pioneer of the science fiction genre, as well as a prominent figure in the Realism and Naturalism literary movements, he was one of the first American authors to become internationally known and earn considerable wealth from his writing. His most notable books include 'The Call of the Wild' (1903) and 'White Fang' (1906). He was a member of San Francisco's radical literary group The Crowd and was a passionate animal rights activist.
