Meremees sadulas. Jack Londoni elulugu - Irving Stone

Waking up one morning in early June 1875, the people of San Francisco read an ugly story in the Chronicle newspaper -- a woman had shot herself in the head because her husband had "run her out of the house for refusing to destroy her unborn child -- another story of heartlessness and anguish." . The wife was Flora Wellman, a Black Sheep pioneer from the Wellman family of Massillon, Ohio; the man was Professor W. H. Chaney, an itinerant Irish astrologer; however, the unborn child became known to millions around the world as Jack London.

This is the story of Jack London, told in his own words, with his inimitable colour, character and drama. Where Jack speaks of himself, no biographer could say it better.

"The sailor in the saddle" is based on the material of fifty books published in London and two hundred thousand letters, draft manuscripts, documents and diaries. This is the story of how he worked, loved and fought.
