Jack London (real name John Griffith London; birth surname Chaney; January 12, 1876, San Francisco, USA – November 22, 1916, Glen Ellen, California, USA) – American writer and journalist, war correspondent, public figure. Best known as the author of adventure stories and novels. London’s artistic method is expressed in the desire to show a person in a difficult life situation, at a turning point in life; realistic descriptions of circumstances are combined with the spirit of romance and adventure (the author himself defined his style as “inspired realism, imbued with faith in man and his aspirations”). London’s works are characterized by a unique poetic language, a quick introduction to the reader’s actions in his work, the principle of narrative symmetry, and the characterization of characters through dialogue and thoughts. He considered Robert Stevenson and Robert Kipling his literary mentors (he disagreed with the latter's chauvinistic worldview, admiring only his stylistic qualities). Jack London highly praised the works of Russian writers, especially Maxim Gorky (whose novel "Foma Gordeyev" he called a "healing book" that "affirms goodness").

For the first time, a bilingual collection of poems by the renowned writer Jack London, translated by Sergei Sapozhnikov, is published in Russian.
