Jack London documentary

Daughter Becky shares anecdotes about father Jack.

John Griffith London (born John Griffith Chaney; January 12, 1876 – November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.

London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, workers' rights, socialism, and eugenics. He wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam.

His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay", and "The Heathen".

As a child, I read "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang" a million times, and I listened to "Martin Eden" in a dramatized version for the radion. Thank you for this wonderful documentary.

Thank you very much! Jack London was my favorite writer in childhood)) I love his North stories, they are so true. He was very popular in former Soviet Union and he is still popular in Ukraine.
And what a delight to see his daughter!

This is a delightful documentary on Jack London. Truly a great and adventurous man. I believe that he was an alcoholic but nothing could be done to save him from that and his severe chronic pain. His book John Barleycorn is a masterpiece and should be read by everyone!! I really loved his daughter talking; she truly loved her daddy! What a man! What a life!

[doreekaplan]

Wow. Exceptional in every way. Thanksalot! He was wonderful. As was Beckey.

His daughter, Becky really added to your great video

From dad I have a stack of Jack London books. Maybe it's time to read them. I really like how he lived his life, because its a way of lifeI have endavoured to live myself over the years and am far too aware of what challenges come along with such a choice.
Very inspiring to hear his estranged daughter attesting to the goodness of his heart.
That's a mighty feat in the world of art and litterature it seems.❤

My Grandfather - a surgeon - met Jack London in the South Pacific. I thought "The Iron Heel" was good. George Orwell said it was a source of "1984." "The Seawolf" is brilliant.

Still to shallow to cover his life, try again.

Londons 1910 science fiction short story "Unparalleled Invasion" would be the template for US 20thC biowarfare policy and bioweapons development, which would eventually culminate on the attack in Wuhan, China, resulting in the 2020 global pandemic. And previously said to have inspired the notorious Unit 731, Japans biowarfare program and the mass biological and chemical munitions used during the Korean War. Certainly the most acclaimed racist PoS Sinophobe.
