About

“Vahşetin sayısız saatler boyunca, örümceği ağında, yılanı yumağında, panteri pususunda tutan yaşamın kendisi kadar azimli, bitmek tükenmek ya da yorulmak bilmeyen sonsuz bir sabrı vardır.” Jack London’ın Kanada’ya yaptığı altın arayışı seyahatinden izler taşıyan Vahşetin Çağrısı, onun yazarlığının en önemli eserlerinden biridir. Çok sayıda baskıya ulaşarak Jack London’ı yazarlıktan en çok kazanç sağlayan isimlerden biri haline getirmiştir. Geçen yıllar içinde bir klasik haline gelen Vahşetin Çağrısı, pek çok film ve uyarlamayla günümüzde de popülerliğini koruyor. Buck adlı bir kurt köpeğinin zorluklarla dolu bir yolculukta yaşadıklarını ve hayatta kalma savaşını anlatan eser, okurken Alaska’nın soğuğunu, bir köpeğin hissettiklerini ve dönemin koşullarını derinden anlamanıza yardımcı olacak. Eserin bu başarısında Jack London’ı çağdaş Amerikan edebiyatının en büyüklerinden biri yapan eşsiz gözlem gücü büyük rol oynuyor. (Tanıtım Bülteninden)

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.
