Cuentos De Jack London: Prologo De Mauricio Carrera

Publisher Marketing: "La funcion propia del hombre es vivir, no existir. No malgastare mis dias tratando de prolongarlos. Aprovechare mi tiempo," puntualizo Jack London. A diferencia de otros escritores norteamericanos, Jack London no quiso escribir la Gran Novela, sino vivir La Gran Aventura. Su vida fue la de un aventurero que escribe. Fue un hombre inquieto. Este mismo afan de vida se refleja en los cuentos aqui seleccionados. Hay una aventura, paisajes exoticos y lejanos, tormentas de mar y de nieve, pero tambien una interesante incursion en eso que llaman condicion humana. Contributor Bio:  London, Jack Jack London was an American author, journalist, and adventurer. London's early careers as sailor, fisherman, and prospector provided inspiration for his later writing, and it was only when he returned from the Klondike that London decided to focus on social activism and journalism. He soon became a popular magazine columnist and author, and a prolific commercial writer, penning over two dozen novels, and numerous short stories and poems. His most famous works include The Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea-Wolf, and the short stories "To Build a Fire," and "An Oddyssey of the North." London died in 1916.
