This
paper explains that Jack London's
works have received praise for their vivid descriptions of nature, and of the Klondike Territory in particular, and his works generally deal with the theme of the individual in opposition to an amoral, natural world. The author points out that an interesting perception of the inner logic that functions within London's
Work is the analogy to
modern sports; the elements within the ethos of modern
sports form a foundational perspective for understanding the works. The paper reveals that one of the most important aspects of London's work is the 'discontinuity' that is revealed between man and
nature and between
civilization and instinct, which is particularly true with regard to the work, "To Build a Fire", where civilization and society are brought into extreme contrast with nature.
