Northland Stores
By Jack London
1876-1916











Unfortunately for Jack London, his novels and short stories were written and published during the period of dime store novels of westerns and other regionalist fiction. Unlike dime store novels, London's stories were literary masterpieces who told of the raw aspects of life, broken down to the most primitive aspects of humanity. London wrote about such things as life and death, racial discrimination and the basic instincts of humankind.
