Book excerpt: Jack London was born into abject poverty in the slums of San Francisco during the winter of 1876. His writing was to reflect the hard life he lived, perpetually chronicling men facing the wild as he did throughout his life. After his eighth grade year, poverty forced London to leave school. This did not stop him, as he furthered his literary knowledge and skill at the Oakland Public Library, borrowing books and educating himself. London faced great obstacles, even landing himself in a Niagara Falls prison as a vagrant just shortly after winning a prize from a newspaper for his piece on a Typhoon near Japan. Once he was released, London decided to go back to high school, finishing his education in just a year and got into the University of California. He left after only one semester and began his prolific writing career. "The God of His Fathers and Other Stories" includes: "The God of His Fathers," "The Great Interrogation," "Which Make Men Remember," "Siwash," "The Man With The Gash," "Jan," "The Unrepentant," "Grit of Women," "Where The Trail Forks," "A Daughter of the Aurora," "At the Rainbow's End," and "The Scorn of Women." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
