Seawolf Press Announces the Publication of the Jack London 100Th Anniversary Collection Contact: For Robert Etheredge Immediate Release [email protected] 925-255-3728 February 14, 2018 SeaWolf Press Announces the Publication of the Jack London 100th Anniversary Collection ORINDA, CA – February 14, 2018 - SeaWolf Press is proud to announce the comple- tion of the publication of all 50 books from the well-known American author Jack London. The 100th Anniversary Collection honors Jack London’s death in 1916. The text and illustrations are taken from the fi rst editions, and the covers are replicas of the fi rst edition covers. Jack London’s Life Jack London lived a life of extremes while becoming the best known author in the world. Raised in a working class family in Oakland, California, he was primarily self-taught. His adventurous life provided material for his stories, articles, and books. Known for his realistic writing, his life experiences are revealed in every book. He spent time as a teenage oyster pirate on San Francisco Bay, sailed on a sealing schooner, train-hopped the country as a hobo, scrambled for gold in the Klondike, sailed the Pacific, and was heavily involved in socialism. His dream house in Glen Ellen burned to the ground the day it was finished. A well-known Socialist, his death was observed by a cease-fire for a day during the Russian Revolution. Wide range of subjects The collection highlights the wide range of subjects that London wrote about during his life- time. He fi rst gained fame for his stories of the Klondike gold rush, such as “Call of the Wild” and “White Fang”. He wrote a number of sailing yarns, including “The Sea-Wolf” and “Tales of the Fish Patrol”. His time in the South Pacifi c brought books such as “South Sea Tales” and “The Cruise of the Snark” which details his sailing trip with his wife, Charmian. There are even science-fi ction works such as “The Star Rover”. He wrote plays including “The Acorn Planter,” and some insightful non-fi ction works such as “The People of the Abyss”and “The Road”. About SeaWolf Press SeaWolf Press was established to offer high-quality editions of classic works of famous authors. These editions include the formatting and illustrations from the fi rst editions, as well as the original cover art.

    Jack London’un Eserlerinde Sınıf Çatışması Jack London’ın Eserlerinde Sınıf Çatışması1 Ogün NAZLI2 ORCID ID: 0000-0002-1230-6643 Öz: Bu çalışma ile Jack London’ın eserlerinde sınıfsal mücadeleler ve sınıf çatışmaları incelenmiş; işçi ve sermaye sınıfı arasındaki durumun gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. İşçi sınıfının sermaye sınıfı karşısında takındığı tavır, örgütlenme; sendikalaşma ve grevleri yaratarak çeşitli toplumsal hareketlere neden olmuştur. Bu iki sınıfın yüz yıllar boyunca çatışmasına neden olan faktörler London’ın eserlerinde, kapitalist sistem eleştirisi temeline dayandırılarak anlatılmıştır. Sanayi Devrimi’nin etkilerinin yoğun bir şekilde hissedildiği 19.yüzyılın sosyal ve ekonomik yapısını, o dönemin edebi eserlerinde inceleyebilmek oldukça mümkündür. Bu anlamda, işçi sınıfı içinde büyüyen Jack London’ın yaşamının ve eserlerinin incelenmesi, o dönem hakkında önemli çıkarımlar yapılmasına olanak sağlayacaktır. Çalışmada, Jack London’ın eserlerinde bahsettiği üzere emek ve sermaye arasındaki sınıf mücadelesi, kapitalist sistem eleştirisi kapsamında ele alınarak incelenecektir. Sanayi Devrimi’nin çalışan sınıf üzerinde neden olduğu olumsuz sonuçların belirlenmesi ve sınıf savaşımının ne gibi koşullar içerisinde oluştuğunun gözlemlenmesi amacıyla Jack London’ın; Demir Ökçe, Uçurum İnsanları, Martin Eden, Ay Vadisi, Yanan Günışığı, Dönek ve Meksikalı gibi önemli eserleri incelenecektir. Bunun yanında London’ın kaleme aldığı siyasi deneme ve makalelerine de başvurularak onun dünya görüşü hakkında önemli bilgilere ulaşılmıştır ve

Dodo Press, United Kingdom, 2007. Paperback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Jack London (1876-1916), was an American author and a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction. He was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing. London was self-educated. He taught himself in the public library, mainly just by reading books. In 1898, he began struggling seriously to break into print, a struggle memorably described in his novel, Martin Eden (1909). Jack London was fortunate in the timing of his writing career. He started just as new printing technologies enabled lower-cost production of magazines. This resulted in a boom in popular magazines aimed at a wide public, and a strong market for short fiction. In 1900, he made $2,500 in writing, the equivalent of about $75,000 today.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form.

  • Pandemic Fear and Literature
    Pandemic Fear and Literature: Observations from Jack London’s The Scarlet Plague [Announcer] This program is presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention The Scarlet Plague, originally published by Jack London in 1912, was one of the first examples of a post-apocalyptic fiction novel in modern literature. Set in a ravaged and wild America, the story takes place in 2073, sixty years after the spread of the Red Death, an uncontrollable epidemic that depopulated and nearly destroyed the world of 2013. One of the few survivors, James Howard Smith, alias “Granser,” tells his incredulous and near-savage grandsons how the pandemic spread in the world and about the reactions of the people to contagion and death. Even though it was published more than a century ago, The Scarlet Plague feels contemporary because it allows modern readers to reflect on the worldwide fear of pandemics, a fear that remains very much alive. By exploring the motif of the plague, a consistent and well-spread theme in literature, London’s novel is part of a long literary tradition, inviting the reader to reflect on the ancestral fear of humans toward infectious diseases. In the ancient world, plague and pestilence were rather frequent calamities, and ordinary people were likely to have witnessed or heard vivid and scary reports about their terrible ravages. When plague spread, no medicine could help, and no one could stop it from striking; the only way to escape was to avoid contact with infected people and contaminated objects. The immense fright was also fueled by a belief in the supernatural origin of pandemics, which were often believed to be provoked by offenses against divinities.

  • Handout 1.7: the Early 20Th Century Name Class ( )
    Name Class ( ) The Early 20th Century By the 20th Century, the short story was a well-established literary form in the West, thanks to the influence of earlier writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant, and Anton Chekhov. The short story continued to flourish throughout the 20th Century due to the proliferation of popular magazines. Writers began to use the literary form of the short story to explore a variety of genres, including love stories, fantasy and horror stories, crime and mystery stories and science fiction. Many short stories written in the early 20th Century reflect issues related to the Age of Industrialisation. During this time, a growing number of people left their farmlands and moved to the cities to work in factories. Some short stories feature the lives of immigrants, who worked hard and learned to adapt to a new language and culture in an unfamiliar environment. Major historical events like World War I, the Great Depression and World War II form the backdrop to many of the best short stories written in the first half of the 20th Century. Here is a list of just some of the most frequently anthologised short story writers of the early 20th Century. Short story writers Short story Well-known collections short stories 1. M. R.

Early in his career, London realized that he had no talent for invention, that in his writing he would have to be an interpreter of the things that are, rather than a creator of the things that might be. Accordingly, he drew his plots, characters, themes, and settings from real-life experiences and published accounts. London’s career as a novelist began shortly after the turn of the twentieth century with the publication of A Daughter of the Snows. It ended nineteen novels later with the posthumous publication of The Assassination Bureau, Ltd. in 1963.
