A collection of travel writings from the author of the classic novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang. In 1907, world-renowned writer Jack London, his wife, and two crew members set sail for the South Pacific aboard the Snark, a 45-foot yacht built specifically for the trip. In this account of their voyage, he details the beleaguered construction of the boat and the enterprise in it that followed, as the group departed from San Francisco and ventured everywhere from Tahiti and Bora Bora to Fiji and the Hawaiian archipelago, where he tried the “royal sport” of surfing and traveled to the leper colony on Molokai. While their plan to spend seven years traversing the globe was derailed by illness—which hospitalized London for five weeks in Sydney—the journey recounted is a fun and informative adventure, filled with details on the ins and out of sailing and celestial navigation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Jack London

A biografia de Jack London (1876-1916) é tão prodigiosa como a obra que nos legou e que o tornaria mundialmente famoso: narrativas do alto-mar (O Cruzeiro do Snark, 1911) e de paisagens nevadas (O Filho do Lobo, 1900), viagens ao lado negro da sociedade industrial (O Povo do Abismo, 1903), entre errantes sem eira nem beira (Vagabundos Cruzando a Noite, 1907), uma fértil correspondência e textos autobiográficos, como Memórias de Um Alcoólico – John Barleycorn (1913). Uma das figuras mais românticas do seu tempo, autodidata e orador eloquente, foi também um homem dos mil ofícios: operário fabril na Califórnia, garimpeiro no Klondike e correspondente de guerra no Japão. Socialista convicto, aliou a sede de aventuras à fome de justiça social, e a coragem individual à defesa da solidariedade entre os homens.
