La Liga de Los Ancianos
San Francisco, (1876-1916). Jack London trabajo desde muy joven en los oficios mas dispares, desde marinoypescador hasta periodista. Maximo exponente del realismo estadounidense, ya consu primera novela obtuvo un gran exito popular, que se extendio a lo largo de toda su produccion literaria. Sus obras retratan la exploracion de la relacion entre naturaleza y civilizacion, en clara inspiracion nietzcheriana, y estan dotadas de un transfondo autobiografico en el que el destino ineludible es la muerte y el fracaso."

About the author
Jack London
7,851 books7,784 followersJohn Griffith Chaney, better known as Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a large fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.
London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of animal rights, workers’ rights and socialism. London wrote several works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, War of the Classes, and Before Adam.
His most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in Alaska and the Yukon during the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire", "An Odyssey of the North", and "Love of Life". He also wrote about the South Pacific in stories such as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen".

Years ago, I delayed watching the movie, "Schindler's List" because of the subject matter--yet another movie about the holocaust. I looked forward to this short story even though it was yet another cover of the plight of the Indians in North America.
London addressed a terrible loss of life amongst both Indian and white man with a casual unemotional review of the numbers and few specific incidents. At the same time, readers are drawn into the profoundly emotional story of the old man who created his own holocaust as he and his comrades delivered death to the invaders without remorse or prejudice. In the end, the judge carries out his own duties as prescribed by law and his broken heart represents the conflicted emotions of the conquerors of the new world.

Part of Jack London's Klondike series. A short story set at the turn of the last century about the end of the way of life of the Aboriginal people of Canada. The story is the trial testimony of Imber a member of the Whitefish tribe, who confesses to many murders but his reasoning and emotion will make you question to whom the title 'Savage' should be assigned.

Сойдет, но уже начинаешь уставать от постоянного нахваливания белой расы, хоть и вскользь, может быть просто перевод такой странный?
