AUTHOR OF THE BOOK

John Griffith Chaney, better known as Jack London (12 January 1876–22 November 1916), was
an American author who pioneered the art of commercial fiction, which made him a prominent
figure of the international literary arena. As a part of the radical literary group, ‘The Crowd,’ London
projected his socialist ideas through his works. Known as a rebel in his teens, London also spent
30 days in jail for vagrancy. The experience of imprisonment motivated him to attend college to
become a writer.
