Jack London

Jack London (1876-1916) found fame with his wolf-dog tales and sagas of the frozen North, but Cecelia Tichi challenges the long-standing view of London as merely a mass-market producer of potboilers. Thoroughly exploring London's importance as an artist and as a political and public figure, Tichi brings to life a man who merits recognition as one of America's foremost public intellectuals.

Jack London (1876-1916) si-a gasit faima cu povestile si sagasele sale despre cainii lupi din nordul inghetat, dar Cecelia Tichi contesta viziunea indelungata a Londrei ca fiind doar un producator pe piata in masa de cazane. Explorand cu atentie importanta Londrei ca artist si ca persoana politica si publica, Tichi aduce la viata un om care merita recunoasterea ca unul dintre cei mai importanti intelectuali publici ai Americii.
