• At 17, he confessed to the bar's owner, John Heinold, his desire to attend university and pursue a career as a writer. Heinold lent London tuition money to attend cwas born in San Francisco of an unmarried mother of wealthy background, Flora Wellman. His father may have been William Chaney , a journalist, lawyer, and major figure in the development of American astrology(占星术). Because Flora was ill, Jack was raised at an early age by an ex-slave, Virginia Prentiss, who had a great influence on the boy while he grew up.
In the process, he got to know some ideas about socialism and was known as the Boy Socialist of Oakland for his street corner speech. He would run unsuccessfully several times on the socialist ticket as mayor. He read a lot of books, and consciously chose to become a writer to escape from the terrible life as a factory worker. He studied other writers and began to submit stories, jokes and poems to various publications, mostly without success.
• 我宁愿是燃烧过后的灰烬也不愿为地上的 灰尘！
我宁愿让点点星火猛烈燃烧殆尽也不愿任 其干腐。
我宁愿做一闪而过的流星，让每一点碎片 都擦出火光，也不愿做死寂的恒星。 人的职责是生活，而不是存在。 我不会浪费时间试图延长寿命。 但，我会用尽生命中的每一秒。
Jack London (1876 - 1916)
When he was in his teens, the boy adopted the name of Jack. He worked at various hard labor jobs, pirated for oysters(偷捕牡蛎） on San Francisco Bay, served on a fish patrol(巡逻船）to capture poachers(偷捕者), sailed the Pacific on a sealing ship, joined Kelly’s Army of unemployed working men, hoboed(流浪) around the country, and returned to attend high school at age 19.

Jack London's Credo
I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
• London at the age of nine with his dog Rollo, 1885
Early life
• As a schoolboy, London often studied at Heinold's First and Last Chance Saloon, a port-side bar in Oakland.
Brief introduction
• He was a realism and naturalism novelist, journalist, short story writer and essayist as well as social activist.
• He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone.
• London was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics such as his dystopian novel, The Iron Heel and The People of the Abyss.
