His vigorous stories of men and animals against the environment, and survival against hardships were drawn mainly from his own experience. An illegitimate child, London passed his childhood in poverty in the Oakland slums. At the age of 17, he ventured to sea on a sealing ship. The turning point of his life was a thirty-day imprisonment that was so degrading it made him decide to turn to education and pursue a career in writing. His years in the Klondike searching for gold left their mark in his best short stories; among them, The Call of the Wild, and White Fang. His best novel, The Sea-Wolf, was based on his experiences at sea. His work embraced the concepts of unconfined individualism and Darwinism in its exploration of the laws of nature. He retired to his ranch near Sonoma, where he died at age 40 of various diseases and drug treatments. http://candlelighttales.com/english/podcast/RM_podcastJackLondon2.mp3 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 08:00:00 GMT 3:47 No kids,tales,children,audio,kid,story,German,French,Farsi,Persian,mp3,sherlock,Holmes Internationaltales.com Interview with David loftus and his narration of Sherlock Holmes audio tales - Ages: 12+ Narrated in English - The adventures of Sherlock Holmes are as immediate and exciting as any stories in all of world literature.
