Synopsis "La Huelga General (in Spanish)"

«La huelga general (el sueño de Debs)» es un cuento que escribió el genial Jack London (San Francisco, California, 1876-1916) en homenaje al sindicalista Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), uno de los fundadores de la Industrial Workers of the World. El autor de «La llamada de la selva», «Colmillo Blanco», «El lobo de mar» o «El vagabundo de las estrellas» muestra en este relato su vertiente más anticapitalista, que podemos ver también en «El renegado», «Gente del abismo», «Los de abajo» o «El talón de hierro».

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
