This book is the first part of a two-volume edition , with the fullest possible representation of Jack London's work on the American North, about fascinating journeys and risky adventures , who survived the author - and then his heroes - in the northern lands about the attractive and dangerous beauty of this harsh land. North of Jack London is a world of dazzling whiteness of snow and dazzling mind of gold fever. A world where extreme cold only inflames human passions, where fortunes are easily made and in an instant the last hopes are broken, where characters are forged and fates are irreparably broken. a world of strong, strong-willed, purposeful men and brave, determined, selfless women; a world in which man and nature again and again test each other for strength and in which both people and animals one day inevitably have to hear the call of their ancestors coming from the depths of their nature ... The book includes four author's collections of stories and three novels published in 1900-1906
