Klondike Tales

by Jack London

First published 2001

Amazon
3.8(38)

This Modern Library collection gathers twenty-three of Jack London's Northland stories, selected from his early Yukon volumes and later Klondike fiction. Prospectors, travellers, Indigenous communities, dogs and isolated settlements confront cold, hunger, greed and the dangerous distances of the northern trails.

London joined the Klondike Gold Rush in 1897, and the collection draws its physical detail and unsentimental view of survival from that experience. The stories range from tests of individual endurance to conflicts over race, money and loyalty, presenting the Gold Rush as both an adventure and a social world governed by unequal power.
