The Son of the Wolf

Jack London emerged as a significant figure in American literature, becoming one of the first authors to achieve financial success solely through writing. His self-education and determination fueled his journey, particularly during the late 19th century when new printing technologies created a demand for short fiction. London's notable works, including "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," reflect his experiences and the era's cultural shifts. His career flourished as he capitalized on the booming magazine market, earning substantial income from his prolific writing.
