Jack London was born a working-class, fatherless San Franciscan in 1876. In his youth he was a boundlessly energetic adventurer on the bustling west coast - by and by playing the role of hobo, sailor, and oyster pirate. The iniquity and abuses of the Gilded Age he witnessed drove him to become a socialist; his adventures informed his fiction. By adulthood he had matured into the iconic American author of such still-universally loved books as "The Call of the Wild", "White Fang", and "The Sea Wolf", but in spite of his success, he was at war with himself. Award-winning author James L. Haley explores the forgotten Jack London - the contradictory man who nonetheless has much to say to us today. A man bristling with ideas, whose passion for social justice roared until the day he died. In "Wolf", Haley returns Jack London to his proper place in the American pantheon, resurrecting the author of "White Fang" in his full fire and glory.
