With a good book, people think outside the box and go on a journey of discovery. What did British author J.K. Rowling say? 'Those who don't read haven't found a good book,' she said.

He has been a big success in the literary world for more than 100 years. He was still a person who had a lot of wild ideas and creativity, which led to some of the most exciting books ever written. If you haven't read any of the best Jack London books, this is a good post for you. There are many books by him, like "The Story of Keesh," "The Iron Heel," and "White Fang."

But first, how did he become so well-known? We'll find out.

8th Grade Education, A Writing Contest Prize – The Genesis of Jack’s Literary Novelty

He started making big changes in the literary world when he was 17. His birth date is 12 January 1876. He started writing after leaving a job at the Klondike. His favorite thing to do was read, which made him want to be a writer even more.

London told his mother about how he survived a typhoon in 1893. The harrowing story, in part, and with help from his mother, made him stand out. In the newspapers, his mother told him that he had to write a story about his sailing trip, something that almost killed him. With only an 8th-grade education, it was a big job to get the job done. His story didn't win the $25 prize, but it did beat the stories of students from Stanford and Berkeley, who were both college students.

It was then that he decided to follow his dream of writing. It took a long time for him to become an author. His first short stories didn't get much attention because they were rejected by publishers. Today, his books show that he was a man who had words at his fingertips.

The Best of Jack London

The Story of Keesh

Jack started writing short stories when he was younger. "The story of Keesh" is a good one to show. A young man (Keesh) is inspired by the actions of his father, who has died. The book was written in 1904. He is only 13 years old, but he already has the hunting skills of his father. Several tribal chiefs are awed by his bravery, courage, and confidence. Because he always brings home fresh bush meat for everyone in his village, he is a big fan of the story about Keesh's people.

It's not clear how good a hunter Keesh is, and some people think he's into witchcraft. But that doesn't put his trips in danger. A huge igloo is built for him as a reward. It's bigger than the igloo built by the chief, which makes him even more famous. The chief is angry and decides to send two scouts after Keesh. This only shows how good he is at hunting. Unbelievable! When Keesh kills a huge bear, everyone is in awe. You can get the summary of "The story of Keesh" for free, but this is a book you can't afford to not read. He explains why.

The People of Abyss

Because he cares about people who live in poor conditions, Jack London finds his writing muse in stories about people who lived in East London. He then writes "The People of the Abyss" after he interviews the homeless and blends in with their way of life. In this book, you can be sure of one thing: It is a masterpiece that tells the story of people in East London from their point of view. You will learn more about what happened and start to like yourself. Jack chose London because it has the same name as his. How he got the name is a story for another time.

White Fang

In this book, Jack London wrote from the point of view of an animal. Whether or not you call it "personification," he paints a beautiful picture of White Fang, an animal from the family of wolves. It's not going to be okay if you don't find out what Jack has to say about White Fang when you go on this journey into a cruel world.

To Build A Fire

It looks like Jack had a thing for the wild world, and he liked to go to places with extreme weather, like the icy northlands. His book, "To Build a Fire," proves this. Winter and cold weather are the subject of this story. In the beginning, you wonder whether the man and his dog will make it. Get your hands on "To Build a Fire," one of Jack London's best works.

The Call of the Wild

Jack's love for wild animals is also a common theme in many of his books. If you want to read a book that makes you feel like you're in another world, try "The Call of the Wild." It is a story about a man and a dog, and the main point is how animals help keep the ecosystem in order.

The Cruise of the Dazzler

His writing began after surviving a very scary cruise in his early years. But does it have anything to do with one of his books called "The Cruise of the Dazzler?" What do you think? The book tells the story of Joe Bronson, a man who leaves home to become a sailor after he quits school. However, it doesn't work out for Joe. Pirates! Make sure you read The Cruise of the Dazzler. It is one of the best things that London has to offer.

The Iron Heel

It's likely that Jack London wrote at least 10 books. All of them are worth reading. His other book is called "The Iron Heel," which gets the most attention. Painting a picture of a world that is very different from the one we live in now, it focuses on oppression as well as social problems, among other things. If you think about how he uses fictional characters to show real-life things, "The Iron Heel" is an example of his literary genius.
