Jack London - A Collection of Stories

Downloaded a free collection of stories written by Jack London onto my Kindle. I discovered him through White Fang, which quickly became one of my favourite novels. He is a fantastic writer, with a traditional but highly skilled story-telling gift, able to write about natural environments with particular beauty. 

This collection featured an essay on human nature and the paradox between its obsession with war and murder and the rapid population growth; auto-biographical stories about his early life as a sailor, including a ghost encounter; and a short play.

Encouraged me to look up and get two more of his books, which I may take a while to get round to reading, because university is starting soon, and I have much else I need to read.
