The idea of ​​peaceful rebellion through nature is the basis of many books. Kipling was one of the first to do this in several of his novels, but Jack London explored this concept much more deeply. He was born in 1876 in San Francisco, an illegitimate child born to an unmarried woman, but his mother married a man named John London and named her son John London. This family moved around a lot, but ended up again in San Francisco where John London, now known as Jack London, worked on the Bay Patrol. Jack was one of the first to go to Alaska during the gold rush. He didn't get rich from gold, but he recorded the lives of Alaskans and put it in his books. The series of books about life in Alaska includes some of his best-known works, such as "The Son of the Wolf" and White Fang, in which Jack London describes similar themes of the harsh life in Alaska, the experience of learning from men and animals. , and the lifelong struggle for survival.

He works without food for many hours, so absorbed in his task that he does not even notice that it is dark. This continues for several days, until he finds a lot of gold. The valley then seems to be bordered by a minefield. As he digs, he is shot in the back by a thief, but so overcome by greed, he manages to take down his assassin and kill him. And the ironic thing is that he wouldn't even touch a deer, but as his treasure is threatened with being taken away from him, he kills a person..
