About

San Francisco’da yaşayan Joe, kendini bir türlü derslerine veremeyen; arkadaşlarıyla sokak sokak gezmeyi, sınavlara çalışmaya yeğleyen bir gençtir. Yaşamı sıradan, sıkıcı bulur, hep daha fazlasını bekler. Dolu dolu yaşamak ister ve günlerini çeşitli maceralara atılarak geçirenlere özenir. Kız kardeşinin okulda kendisinden daha başarılı olmasını, babasının hayal kırıklığını dile getirmesini kaldıramayan Joe, evden kaçarak denizci olmaya karar verir fakat kendini korsanların arasında bulur. Denizin Çağrısı, nefes aldığı her ânın tadını çıkarmak isteyen memnuniyetsiz bir gencin hayata ve yaşama dair farkındalık kazanma sürecini anlatıyor. Jack London’ın diğer birçok eserinde olduğu gibi, denize, denizciliğe dair ustaca gözlemler içeren roman, okurlara delidolu bir gençlik hikâyesi sunuyor.

He was born on January 12, 1876 in San Francisco. His real name is John Griffith Chaney. Born out of wedlock, Jack London took his surname from the war veteran named John London, whom his mother married when he was only eight months old. Due to financial difficulties, he left school at a young age and worked in various jobs such as newspaper salesman, crewman, fisherman, oyster pirate, journalist, coast guard patrolman, and got to know the American working class. In 1894, he was imprisoned for thirty days on charges of vagrancy. After being released from prison, he enrolled in high school with the desire to change his life. He completed his high school education in one year and entered the University of California in 1896. He left the university, where he studied for a period, due to financial difficulties. In 1897, he joined the gold seekers in the Klondike region, but he returned a year later, again poor and unemployed. He decided to try his luck in writing by preparing an intense work schedule. He began to write sonnets, ballads, witty jokes, anecdotes, stories of horror and adventure. Martin Eden, which he wrote in 1909, has autobiographical traces as it reflects this period. His first book, Wolf Spawn (1900), was met with great interest. In the same year, he married Elisabeth Maddern and had two daughters from this marriage. However, this union did not last long and ended in 1904. He died on his farm in California in 1916, after his second marriage to Charmian Kittredge. London wrote nearly fifty books throughout his writing career and became one of the most read authors of his time. His writings were shaped around his experiences, and he reached a socialist worldview with the influence of socialism. His major works include White Fang, Martin Eden, Men of the Abyss, The Call of the Wild.
