Este audiolibro está narrado en castellano. El pobre Buck no podía imaginarse que una deuda de juego iba a cambiar su vida tan radicalmente.Adéntrate con este Audiolibro en las inhóspitas y salvajes tierras de Alaska, donde el perro Buck va ir pasando de dueño en dueño, hasta que llegue a conocer a John Thornton. Con él establecerá una comuníón casi espiritual, que le empujará a realizar proezas increíbles, convirtiéndolo en la leyenda que hoy os vamos a contar.El amor de un perro por su amo puede llegar a ser mucho más profundo y desinteresado que el amor entre los seres humanos.Los personajes, los paisajes, el ritmo... convierten a este relato en una de las mejores historias jamás escritas de como vivían los hombres en el frío norte, cuando se volvieron locos por conseguir el metal amarilloUno de los novelistas Americanos más conocidos, Jack London era también un periodista y activista social. Sus trabajos son relatos que romantizan las fuerzas de la naturaleza y la lucha de sus personajes por sobrevivir. A los veintiún años viajó a Alaska durante la fiebre de oro, donde obtuvo los conocimientos que lo llevarían a escribir títulos como "El Llamado del Instinto", "La Odisea del Norte", y "Encender una Hoguera". Gracias a esto, London fue uno de los primeros autores en lograr reconocimiento mundial y conseguir una fortuna de sus cuentos.
Zbiór krótkich nowel o silnych mieszkankach i mieszkańcach Północy. Mroźny klimat Alaski odbija się na życiu i charakterach żyjących tam ludzi. Walka z ekstremalnymi warunkami przyrody przeplata się z opowieściami o człowieku. Na tle śnieżnych krajobrazów rozwijają się, nierzadko pełne poświęcenia, relacje damsko-męskie. Szczególną rolę odkrywają tu kobiety Północy. Niezwykła mądrość i odwaga tych, którym przyszło odnaleźć się nie tylko w surowym klimacie, ale i w otoczeniu wyjątkowo gruboskórnych mężczyzn porywa czytelników w głąb, bijącego szybko i gorąco, tytułowego serca kobiety.Jack London, właśc. John Griffith London (1876-1916) - amerykański pisarz, nowelista, eseista. Był samoukiem. Przez całe życie imał się różnych zawodów, pracował m.in. jako rybak, poszukiwacz złota, korespondent wojenny i dziennikarz. Interesował się problemami społecznymi. Część własnych doświadczeń i przeżyć przeniósł do swoich utworów o tematyce marynistycznej oraz o gorączce złota na Alasce. Łączył wątki przygodowe i sensacyjne z naturalistycznymi obrazami walki o byt i przetrwanie. Jest autorem m.in. "Białego kła", "Zewu krwi", powieści autobiograficznej "Martin Eden" oraz zbioru opowiadań "Opowieści z Północy i Południa".

To czasy, gdy w tamtych rejonach panuje gorączka złota. Młody Kit nie jest przygotowany na surowe warunki pracy poszukiwacza kruszcu i mocno odstaje od starych wyjadaczy. Nie poddaje się i próbuje dorównać pozostałym. Otrzymuje przydomek „Zawierucha", który wkrótce zupełnie wypiera jego prawdziwe imię.

O protagonista desta história fantástica de Jack London é salvo de um naufrágio e raptado por um cientista tresloucado que descobriu uma forma de ressuscitar os mortos. O cientista tem no seu barco um avançado laboratório onde inicia depois um processo de experiências infindáveis em que o cientista mata e ressuscita o pobre coitado um sem número de vezes, até que este faz uma descoberta macabra.Uma curta história que daria por si só um romance, mas que Jack London decidiu libertar da sua panóplia de contos rapidamente para seu ganha-pão, e para dar início à sua carreira de escritor. Consta que terá sido este o seu primeiro conto publicado ("A Thousand Deaths"), em 1899, na revista literária 'The Black Cat' com sede em Boston através da qual Jack London fez as suas primeiras publicações literárias.

Een baanbreker (1907) is een dystopische roman op twee sporen. Allereerst is er het verhaal van Avis Everhard, de vrouw van een socialistische leider. Op aangrijpende wijze beschrijft zij de ongelijke verdeling van verlammende armoede en weelderige rijkdom, de opkomst van fascisme en dictatorschap en de wanhopige strijd van de revolutionairen tegen de opkomst van de oligarchie in de jaren twintig en dertig in Amerika. Jack London schreef de roman in 1907, maar veel van zijn ideeën bleken voorspellingen.Avis Everhards manuscript wordt enkele eeuwen later gevonden, zo’n 2600 jaar na Christus, en door de student Anthony Meredith voorzien van vele voetnoten. George Orwell noemde Een baanbreker ‘een waarachtiger voorspelling van de toekomst dan 'Brave New World’, en inderdaad: de roman leest als zowel een dystopische sciencefictie als een socialistisch traktaat dat feilloos de klassenstrijd, de opkomst van fascisme en terrorisme en de ontwikkeling van overheidstoezicht voorspelt.Jack London (1876-1916) was een pionier van het science-fictiongenre en een van de eerste schrijvers die rijk en wereldberoemd werd door zijn werk. Hij schreef tientallen romans en korte verhalen, naast essays, gedichten en toneelstukken. Behalve schrijver was hij ook actief als journalist.

Een baanbreker (1907) is een dystopische roman op twee sporen. Allereerst is er het verhaal van Avis Everhard, de vrouw van een socialistische leider. Op aangrijpende wijze beschrijft zij de ongelijke verdeling van verlammende armoede en weelderige rijkdom, de opkomst van fascisme en dictatorschap en de wanhopige strijd van de revolutionairen tegen de opkomst van de oligarchie in de jaren twintig en dertig in Amerika. Jack London schreef de roman in 1907, maar veel van zijn ideeën bleken voorspellingen.Avis Everhards manuscript wordt enkele eeuwen later gevonden, zo’n 2600 jaar na Christus, en door de student Anthony Meredith voorzien van vele voetnoten. George Orwell noemde Een baanbreker ‘een waarachtiger voorspelling van de toekomst dan 'Brave New World’, en inderdaad: de roman leest als zowel een dystopische sciencefictie als een socialistisch traktaat dat feilloos de klassenstrijd, de opkomst van fascisme en terrorisme en de ontwikkeling van overheidstoezicht voorspelt.Jack London (1876-1916) was een pionier van het science-fictiongenre en een van de eerste schrijvers die rijk en wereldberoemd werd door zijn werk. Hij schreef tientallen romans en korte verhalen, naast essays, gedichten en toneelstukken. Behalve schrijver was hij ook actief als journalist.
The Scarlet Plague is a post-apocalyptic tale set in 2073, sixty years after an uncontrollable epidemic, the Red Death, has depopulated the planet. James Howard Smith is one of the few survivors of the pre-plague era left alive in the San Francisco area, and he travels with his grandsons Edwin, Hoo-Hoo, and Hare-Lip, who live as primeval hunter-gatherers in a heavily depopulated world. Smith, whom they call "Granser", decides to tell them the story of the disease alternately referred to as scarlet plague, scarlet death, or red death. Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. His amazing life experience also includes being an oyster pirate, railroad hobo, gold prospector, sailor, war correspondent and much more. He wrote adventure novels & sea tales, stories of the Gold Rush, tales of the South Pacific and the San Francisco Bay area - most of which were based on or inspired by his own life experiences.
The year is 2600 AD or 419 B.O.M. (the Brotherhood of Man) when Anthony Meredith, a scholar from the future, comes across an important manuscript of Avis Everhard written around 1912-1932 when "Iron Heel" came to power in USA. "Iron Heel" is an oligarchic regime where the power and money is concentrated in the hands of a few rulers and Avis and her husband Ernest are involved in a conspiracy to overthrow it. Although Meredith knows the fate of Avis and Ernest but what they saw and suffered would shake you to the core. This novel is a prophetic dystopia that is said to have inspired George Orwell, the author of 1984, who described Jack London as having made "a very remarkable prophecy of the rise of Fascism". Orwell believed that Jack London's understanding of contemporary politics had made him a better prophet "than many better-informed and more logical thinkers." Jack London (1876-1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen", and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf.
