Beschrijving
This ebook includes a biographical introduction, a short, critical analysis of London's work within the historical context and a brief introduction to this work.
Published in 1910 by McMillan, Burning Daylight tells the story of the eponymous character, a successful prospector, and his adventures in the Klondike. It's thought that Burning Daylight – a nickname – was based on a real-life character called 'Borax' Smith, an entrepreneur from Oakland, California.
It's also thought that the character was a manifestation of London, or at least the man he'd most like to be. The book was a best seller in the year of its release and reportedly the largest selling book during London's life time.
