Baba Pat Glendon, eski bir boksördür. Oğlunu da kendisi gibi boksör yapmaya karar verir. Onu, boks dünyasında dönen şikelerden, yalanlardan korumak için insanlardan uzak, doğal bir ortamda yetiştirir. Genç bir delikanlı olan oğlunu, ünlü bir boksör yapması için menajer olan Sam'e emanet eder. Okumaya, fotoğraf çekmeye meraklı olan genç Glendon, gazeteci bir kadına âşık olur ve onunla evlenir. Kitabın sonu ise oldukça ilginç. Genç boksör dünya şampiyonu olur ve... Bir aydan daha kısa sürede roman, birkaç saatte hikaye yazabilen, yaşadığı kırk seneye elli bir kitap sığdıran, günde on beş saat okuyan Jack London için "sıra dışı" tarifi sanırım yetersiz bir tanımlama olacaktır. Hayatı, bizzat hayatı yaşayarak öğrenen yazar, bir solukta okuyabileceğiniz bir romanla karşınızda.

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.
