"Il se souvint des conseils du vieux de Sulphur Creek. Ce dernier lui avait exposé avec la plus grande gravité la règle de survie selon laquelle aucun homme ne doit voyager seul dans la région du Klondike, quand la température passe au-dessous de moins quarante-cinq degrés. Néanmoins, il s'y était risqué. Il avait eu l'accident tant redouté et il était seul."
Cette nouvelle, l'une des plus connues de Jack London, est une étonnante évocation du courage et de l'énergie propres aux aventuriers du Grand Nord. Une magnifique leçon pour ne pas oublier que, dans ces contrées, il ne faut jamais voyager seul...
Julie Sicard a choisi Construire un feu : "Il y a certains livres qu'on vous offre qui deviennent les livres que l'on aime offrir. Construire un feu est de ceux-là." -
« Buck ne lisait pas les journaux, sinon il aurait su que cela risquait de barder, pas seulement pour lui, mais pour tous les chiens de la côte, à forte musculature et à longs poils chauds, du détroit de Puget à San Diego. Des hommes, qui cherchaient à l’aveuglette dans les ténèbres arctiques, avaient découvert un métal jaune, et des compagnies de paquebots et de navigation claironnaient la trouvaille : voilà pourquoi des milliers d’êtres humains se ruaient vers les terres du Nord. Or ces hommes voulaient des chiens… ».
L’Appel sauvage, plus connu sous le titre de L’Appel de la forêt, est non seulement le livre le plus emblématique de London sur le Grand Nord, mais bien davantage encore : par-delà l’aventure du chien Buck, entraîné dans la terrifiante ruée vers l’or du Klondike en 1897, rudoyé et humilié par la chiennerie humaine, c’est un extraordinaire hymne à la gloire – ambigüe – du monde sauvage.

The story takes place in the extreme conditions of the Yukon during the 19th century Klondike Gold Rush, where strong sled dogs were in high demand. After Buck, a domesticated dog, is snatched from a pastoral ranch in California, he is sold into a brutal life as a sled dog. The novella details Buck's struggle to adjust and survive the cruel treatment he receives from humans, other dogs, and nature. He eventually sheds the veneer of civilization altogether and instead relies on primordial instincts and the lessons he has learned to become a respected and feared leader in the wild. The Call of the Wild is London's most popular work and is considered the masterpiece of his so called 'early period'. The novella is often classified as children's literature because of its animal protagonist, but the maturity of its subject matter makes it valuable for older audiences as well. Major themes include survival of the fittest, civilization versus nature, and fate versus free will.

When White Fang - part wolf, part dog - gets separated from his family, he must find a way to survive on his own. In a harsh Canadian environment that means kill or be killed. Tough surroundings and cruel masters make White Fang increasingly more aggressive and wild, but Weedon Scott, a kind gold hunter, sees the dog in him and attempts to tame him. Released in 1906, White Fang - companion novel to The Call of the Wild - was immediately successful, especially among younger readers. Ethan Hawke starred in the 1991 film adaptation as the wolfdog`s friend, and in 2018, Netflix released a beautiful animated movie, introducing children to work of Jack London.

"Lon McFane doveva essere un pochino di cattivo umore, forse perchè aveva perduto la sua borsa di tabacco; altrimenti mi avrebbe almeno accennato a quella capanna del Lago Sorpresa, prima che ci arrivassimo. Tutto il giorno, gira e rigira, noi ci eravamo dati il cambio davanti alla slitta per aprire un varco ai cani; un lavoro pesante, con quei sandali da neve, e che non contribuiva certo a rendere un uomo chiacchierone; tuttavia a mezzogiorno, quando c'eravamo fermati per far bollire il caffe, Lon McFane avrebbe potuto parlarmi con comodo. Invece, nulla. Lago Sorpresa? Per me fu la Capanna Sorpresa. Non ne avevo udito mai parlare. Confesso che mi sentivo un po' stanco, e che avevo atteso con impazienza che Lon si fermasse per accamparci sia pure un'ora; ero però troppo orgoglioso per suggerirglielo o comunque chiedergli le sue intenzioni; e sì che egli si trovava al mio servizio, stipendiato profumatamente per guidare i miei cani e obbedire ai miei ordini. A pensarci, mi pare che fossi anch'io alquanto di malumore; lui non diceva nulla, e io ero deciso a non chieder nulla, a costo di camminar tutta la notte."

"La joie du surf" présente toutes les qualités des meilleurs textes de non-fiction ou de journalisme littéraire. L'alliance de la poésie et de la précision technique est particulièrement intéressante, notamment lorsque London pose cette jolie question : "Qu'est- ce qu'une vague ?". Si la "maîtrise de la matière" est cruciale dans la pratique de ce sport, London affirme que le secret du surf repose en réalité moins sur la force et la domination des vagues que sur une absence de résistance à leur déferlement, c'est-à- dire une forme de souplesse, d'abandon et d'humilité. Il s'agit également d'un texte majeur dans l'histoire de ce sport, qui fait désormais partie de la culture populaire occidentale.
