Sinopse

In the unforgiving land of ice and gold, only the strong endure.

In his first published collection, The Son of the Wolf, Jack London transports readers to the harsh yet breathtaking wilderness of the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush. This powerful set of interlinked short stories follows traders, trappers, and adventurers as they navigate the frozen trails, battling nature's cruelty, human greed, and their own inner conflicts.

From deadly blizzards to tense encounters with the native tribes, London captures both the savagery and nobility of life on the northern frontier. His vivid prose and authentic detail immerse readers in a world where survival is never guaranteed and honor is tested at every turn.

Published in 1900, this work established London as a literary force, paving the way for his later classics such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang.

"A stunning debut that set the tone for London's career—rugged, raw, and unforgettable."
– The San Francisco Chronicle

"The gold standard of Yukon adventure tales."
– Alaska Review of Literature

    "The Statement of Randolph Carter" is the first person testimony of the titular character, who has been found wandering through swampland in an amnesiac shock. In his statement, Carter attempts to explain the disappearance of his companion, the occultist Harley Warren. Warren has come into the possession of a book, written in an unknown language, the exact contents of which he never revealed to Carter. Carter mentions that Warren has other "strange, rare books on forbidden subjects", several of which are in Arabic. From his mysterious book, Warren apparently deduces that doors or stairways exist between the surface world, and the underworld. He encourages Carter to travel with him to the location of one such portal, an ancient graveyard near Big Cypress Swamp. Upon arriving, Warren locates a particular tomb, and opens it to reveal a staircase that descends into the earth. Taking a lantern, he leaves Carter on the surface, and follows the stairs into the darkness, communicating with his companion by a telephone wire. After several minutes of silence, Warren suddenly begins to make vague, panicked outbursts that culminate in a desperate plea for Carter to flee. Finally, after Warren is silent for several minutes, Carter calls to him down the line, only to hear an alien voice telling him that Warren is dead.

    "In Exile" was first published in  May 1892 issue of the Vsemirnaya Illustratsiya magazine.
    The story was inspired by Chekhov's journey through Siberia and his stay in Sakhalin and, in particular, two episodes of this trip.
    While on Sakhalin,  Anton Chekhov met a boatman nicknamed Krasivy, a self-professed 'happy man' who struck him with his own peculiar brand of Tolstovian philosophy. It was Krasivy, apparently, who became a prototype for Semyon Tolkovy, the story's hero.
