{"product_id":"9780873281959","title":"Jack London: One Hundred Years a Writer","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack London became one of the most famous and successful authors of his day with the publication of his vastly popular novels \u003ci\u003eThe Call of the Wild\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Sea-Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e. Over his brief life of forty years, he wrote at least fifty books, while pursuing a host of other careers as adventurer, sailor, prospector, explorer, journalist, war correspondent, sociologist, and rancher—careers that often diverted attention from, and even eclipsed, his achievements as a writer. \u003cbr\u003eIn fact, for several decades after his death, scholars uniformly dismissed London's writings either as second-rate hack work or as adventure and animal stories for juveniles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, more than a century after London's initial literary successes, this volume offers insightful studies and analyses of the author and his works. These studies not only build on previous scholarship but also provide new interpretations, thus extending even further our understanding of the author's stories and novels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Huntington Library Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009016938736,"sku":"9780873281959","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780873281959_p0.jpg?v=1763838715","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780873281959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
