Synopsis "Por un Bistec. El Chinago (in Spanish)"

Nacido en 1876, Jack London desempeñó en su juventud los más duros y variados oficios. En sus relatos de aventuras -ambientados buena parte de ellos en el helado Norte o en los fabulosos Mares del Sur- el impulso de supervivencia compensa la fragilidad del hombre abocado a situaciones de extrema dificultad y violencia. Entre sus obras destacan Colmillo blanco y La llamada de la naturaleza.'

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.
