Jack London
Jack London fought his way up from a life of hard, factory labor in Oakland, California, to become the highest paid, most popular author of his time. His writings questioned the meaning of life and death and captured the essence of the natural struggle to survive. Drawing on his own experiences in Alaska, at sea, and as a hobo, he wove his thoughts into adventurous stories, becoming a prolific author in expressing his own struggle in life. The trials and tribulations Jack London faced instilled in his work a sense of truth and realism that appealed to millions of people around the world. Jack London was born in San Francisco on January 12, 1876. He was the only child of a short-tempered spiritualist, Flora Wellman, and William Chaney, a man of many trades. Chaney never finished what he started, trying carpentry, sailing, editing, lecturing, and teaching. He had an interest in astrology and after traveling the country attending astrological meetings; he opened a small astrology parlor. Chaney abandoned Flora nine months after Jack's birth.
