  • Excerpts from Popular Books by Jack London the Call of the Wild Chapter I
    Excerpts from Popular Books by Jack London The Call of the Wild Chapter I. Into the Primitive “Old longings nomadic leap, Chafing at custom’s chain; Again from its brumal sleep Wakens the ferine strain.” Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Because men, groping in the Arctic darkness, had found a yellow metal, and because steamship and transportation companies were booming the find, thousands of men were rushing into the Northland. These men wanted dogs, and the dogs they wanted were heavy dogs, with strong muscles by which to toil, and furry coats to protect them from the frost. Figure 1: Jack London, 1905. Photo: Public White Fang Domain Chapter I—The Trail of the Meat Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness—a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility.

The Wolf who Lived Like a DogBy Alastair BrowneThe story begins with White Fang's mother, a half wolf, half dog, a wild predator in the Arctic who literally stalks her prey that includes dogs and humans. After a while, and I won't get into the gory details, but there are many, she mates with a full bred wolf to produce a litter, including White Fang, who ends up being the only survivor of the breed.Being in his cave for a while, he comes out and discovers the world, his world, being the Arctic, in Alaska and the Yukon. Coming upon humans for the first time, he looks upon them as gods, and comes under three different masters, one Native, one cruel master who only uses him for dog fights in a betting ring, and then is rescued by a more benign owner who ends up taking him to California in the end.This wolf is trained to protect his owners, though he hated his second master, to pull dog sleds, and most of all, to defend himself.There are three different stories of the wolf being under these masters, doing all sorts of chores, and you learn something of Arctic life during the Alaskan gold rush.Most off, the author delves into the mind of the wolf, how he thinks, and how he deals with the world.

  • White Fang This Extract Is from the Opening of a Novel by Jack London
    White Fang This extract is from the opening of a novel by Jack London called White Fang and was first published in 1906. In this opening section the writer describes two men travelling through the Alaskan wilderness. Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean towards each other, black and ominous, in the fading light. A vast silence reigned over the land. The land itself was a desolation, lifeless, without movement, so lone and cold that the spirit of it was not even that of sadness. There was a hint in it of laughter, but of a laughter more terrible than any sadness--a laughter that was mirthless as the smile of the sphinx, a laughter cold as the frost and partaking of the grimness of infallibility. It was the masterful and incommunicable wisdom of eternity laughing at the futility of life and the effort of life. It was the Wild, 8 the savage, frozen- hearted Northland Wild. But there WAS life, abroad in the land and defiant. Down the frozen waterway toiled a string of wolfish dogs. Their bristly fur was rimed with frost. Their breath froze in the air as it left their mouths, spouting forth in spumes of vapour that settled upon the hair of their bodies and formed into crystals of frost. Leather harness was on the dogs, and leather traces attached them to a sled which dragged along behind. The sled was without runners.

  • 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.

  • The Iron Heel
    “I WAS A CREATURE OF ENVIRONMENT”: JAMESIAN HABIT IN JACK LONDON’S THE IRON HEEL By Thomas W. Howard A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Literature in English—Master of Arts 2015 ABSTRACT “I WAS A CREATURE OF ENVIRONMENT”: JAMESIAN HABIT IN JACK LONDON’S THE IRON HEEL By Thomas W. Howard William James describes in his Principles of Psychology the central role that habits and adaptation plays in the human experience. Habits affect an individual’s beliefs, actions, and emotions, and without habits an individual would not have any personality. In the nineteenth century, literary theorists such as Henry James describe the necessity for authors to create realistic characters and events. This thesis displays the intersection of these two intellectual movements in Jack London’s dystopian novel, The Iron Heel. I begin by examining the history of the theory of habits beginning with John Locke and ending with James’s own works on the subject. I then focus on literary theory and the ways it is conducive to the absorption of habit theory into the creation of realistic literary characters. I argue that novels that do this are “psychoepisodic,” or novels containing psychologically realistic characters that describes a piece of the psychological side of the human experience through various episodes. Finally, I use these theories to examine London’s The Iron Heel and the ways London uses habits in the development of the characters. Copyright by THOMAS W. HOWARD 2015 To Scott W. Mason, teacher, mentor, and friend "iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to thank Dr.

In truth, they looked more like skeletons than wolves. At the front of the pack ran a large gray wolf. He was one of the leaders of the pack. He snarled at all the other wolves if they tried to go faster than him, but he did not snarl at the red-haired she-wolf who ran next to him. He didn’t even show her his teeth if she happened to run in front of him. In fact, he seemed to like it. He seemed to like her. In her opinion he liked her too much. He tried to run too close to her. He even tried to touch her neck or shoulder with his nose. But then she snarled at him irritably and showed him her teeth. He never snarled back.

    3rd International Multidisciplinary Scientific Conference on Ingenious Global Thoughts Hosted from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia https://conferencepublication.com May 31st 2021 ANALYSIS OF JACK LONDON’S NOVELS Alimova Shahnoza Yaxshibayevna Tashkent State Technical University the branch of Termez Jack London’s (January 12, 1876 ‟ November 22, 1916) fame as a writer came about largely through his ability to realistically interpret humanity’s struggle in a hostile environment. 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.
