Summary
Jack London: Adventure: a novel from the Solomon Islands
In this novel, J. London sets the action in the Pacific, where he encounters rebellious blacks in the hot tropics. The Guadalcanal rainforest is described here better than anywhere else in world literature - claim many critics. The reader gets to know new regions and strong characters who overcome many obstacles only by force of will. The documentary nature and vividness of the landscape in this novel brought J. London the fame of the best-paid writer. Adventure but also the author's strong, suggestive ability to describe and introduce the reader to new characters is exactly the main characteristic of London's literary work.
