After his return from the Klondike goldfields in 1898, Jack London wrote a collection of tales exploring the unique codes of behavior adopted by men when faced with the unforgiving, lawless wilderness of the frozen north and the impact of the influx of whites into the Native American culture. The stories include "An Odyssey of the North," "The White Silence," "The Law of Life," "The League of the Old Men," and the universal classic "To Build a Fire."
