This book presents the works of Jack London, dedicated to the harsh Far North of America, its inhabitants, and its conquerors, with the greatest possible completeness. Both the author himself and his characters experienced fascinating journeys and risky adventures amidst the northern nature, which is merciless to the faint-hearted. The alluring and dangerous North is a world of strong, strong-willed, and purposeful men, and of brave, decisive, and selfless women; a world in which characters are forged and fates are broken; a world of blindingly pure snows and the mind-clouding gold rush; a world where man and nature test each other's strength every day, where man and beast are inevitably destined to hear the call of the wild, coming from the depths of the ages and the depths of their own souls...
The book includes four of the author's short story collections and the writer's three major novels dedicated to the North — "The Call of the Wild," "A Daughter of the Snows," and "White Fang." The edition features illustrations by classic Soviet book illustrators Viktor Tsigal and Pyotr Pinkisevich, as well as by American artists.
