Synopsis "Das Mondtal (in German)"

Aus dem Buch: "Ihre Augen, die den Ausdruck eines gefangenen Tieres hatten, schweiften wild durch den gro en, wei gestrichenen Raum, der zum Ersticken erhitzt und mit nassen Dämpfen von dem feuchten Zeug gesättigt war, das unter den vielen Plätteisen zischte. Die zunächst stehenden Mädchen und Frauen warfen ihr einen schnellen Blick zu, und dann schwangen sie wieder ihre Eisen, aber mit erhöhter Schnelligkeit, hatten sie doch mehrere Dutzend Bewegungen ungleichmä ig oder nicht ganz so ausgeführt, wie sie sollten."

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
