Jack London was a creative American novelist and short story author whose works deal romantically with the overwhelming power
of nature and the struggle for survival. This paper examines how his
literature falls into the category of
naturalism, since typical naturalist fiction places the human, a creature living by survival instincts, against a cruel world. It also discusses how through his literature such as "The Call of the Wild", London perpetuated the vision that for man to survive he must fight his environment.
