He was a child laborer in Oakland at 14, a Bay Area pirate at 15, a transcontinental hobo at 16, an able-bodied seaman at 17, a New York State prisoner at 18, a California 'work beast' at 20 and a Yukon prospector at 21. London published over 50 books, and is today most famous for The Sea Wolf, White Fang, The Call of the Wild, Martin Eden, The People of the Abyss, The Road, and John Barleycorn. His influence upon later American writers has been enormous.","brand":"Editions Artisan Devereaux, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178003644656,"sku":"2940151172653","price":4.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940151172653_p0.jpg?v=1764007388","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940151172653","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
