Summary

Jack London is a very successful American journalist, novelist and short story writer of the turn of the twentieth century. He is supposed to be the first American writer whose works have ascended to the status of world classics. These works mainly include the celebrated 'The Call of the Wild' and 'White Fang' and, here. 'The Human Drift'. Being first published in magazine, a practice that London is among those who have introduced to America, many of his stories have anthropomorphic dogs as protagonists. By and large, London had made an extraordinary contribution to the world of literature, a distinguished contribution that was to influence more than one fictional movement of the twentieth century such as adventure fiction, mystery fiction and science fiction.

During a literary career that spanned more than sixty years, he wrote abundantly in an exceptional variety of genres: lyrics, satires, epics, philosophical poems, epigrams, novels, history, critical essays, political speeches, funeral orations, diaries, and letters public and private, as well as dramas in verse and prose.VOLUME 2: COSETTE: Last year (1861), on a beautiful May morning, a traveller, the person who is telling this story, was coming from Nivelles, and directing his course towards La Hulpe. He was on foot. He was pursuing a broad paved road, which undulated between two rows of trees, over the hills which succeed each other, raise the road and let it fall again, and produce something in the nature of enormous waves.
