'''Jack London''' (January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was a famous American writer, journalist and novelist of the early 20th century. He had a traumatic early life, two troubled [[marriage]]s, and a [[death]], possibly due to [[suicide]], shrouded in mystery. After engaging in "oyster pirating," becoming a tramp, and getting a grueling, low-paying job, he went to the [[University of California at Berkeley]] in 1896, only to stay a year and fail to graduate. He joined the Klondike [[Gold Rush]] in 1897, during which he developed Scurvy. However, some of his best known and most successful stories, such as the ''[[Call of the Wild]]'' and ''White Fang'', were based on his Gold Rush experiences.

London became a [[socialist]], and his ''political'' leanings are revealed in some of his writing, especially the less-known ''[[The Iron Heel]]'', an early pro-socialist [[dystopian]] [[novel]]. In 1905, he was among the founding members of the [[Intercollegiate Socialist Society]].
