Especificaciones del producto
Escrito por Jack London
San Francisco, (1876-1916). Jack London trabajó desde muy joven en los oficios más dispares, desde marino y pescador hasta periodista. Máximo exponente del realismo estadounidense, ya con su primera novela obtuvo un gran éxito popular, que se extendió a lo largo de toda su producción literaria. Sus obras retratan la exploración de la relación entre naturaleza y civilización, en clara inspiración nietzcheriana, y están dotadas de un transfondo autobiográfico en el que el destino ineludible es la muerte y el fracaso.
