Jack London

Jack London, who was born into poverty, tried his hand at gold mining before embarking on his writing career. Because the majority of people had never read science fiction before, his writing style was innovative for the time. Many of his books, including The Call of the Wild (1903), White Fang (1906), and The Sea Wolf (1904), were big successes. His personal life was not without controversy, as he was an avowed socialist and member of the radical literary collective “The Crowd” in San Francisco.
