What are your thoughts about the works of Jack London?
I've never read any of his works, and I wanted to reach a general "essence" what this author is.
Something kind of cool about Jack London that not many people know is that he wrote science fiction. Some of their stories science fiction are actually quite good, too. Interestingly, in relation to their European contemporaries, too, like HG Wells and such. Try "The science fiction of Jack London "by Jack London, edited by James Bankes and published by Carol Publishing Group in 1993. He also wrote horror stories and more "fantastic" stories, which are also in that particular book. There is another called "Fantastic Tales" or "Strange Fragments" containing more horror stories. If you like any of these genres, these stories can be a good way of presenting to this author. Of course, his most famous works are large and --- although personally I really hated his racist representation of the former owner of Native American White Fang. But maybe that's just me? About all, however, Jack London was a naturalist, with a healthy respect for nature that he mostly wrote about man against nature and nature --- animals. Much. Wittness "To light a fire." I hope that helps ...
Just south of Monterey lies the beach city of Carmel, California also known as Carmel By The Sea.

Carmel which is famous for having had Clint Eastwood as mayor and has also been the residence of people like Doris Day, Upton Sinclair, Henry Miller and Jack London, is on the Monterey Penninsula and is surrounded by areas like Monterey, Big Sur, Pebble Beach, Point Lobos, Pacific Grove, Salinas And Seaside. Tour 17 Mile Drive, golf at some of the world's best golf courses, visit Fisherman's Wharf, Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, drive down the Big Sur coast, go whale watching in Monterey Bay and see Gray, Humpback and Blue Whales, camp at one of the many beach, river or redwood country campgrounds, go scuba diving, fish the waters off the penninsula for salmon, tuna, halibut, rockcod and more or just sit around and relax.
According to the Carmel Chamber Of Commerce "Carmel has consistently been voted one of the top tourist destinations in the country and you have to see it to believe it. It is located on a breathtaking white sand beach and the quaint European style village offers romance, gourmet dining, shopping and fun."
