SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY OF JACK LONDON IN “WHAT LIFE MEANS TO ME”
Keywords:
struggle, luxurious, upper class, life, an autobiographical essay.Abstract
This article explores the life and literary contribution of Jack London, a famous American author whose writings are deeply rooted in his own experiences of struggle, social issues, and the quest for a better existence. Born in 1876, London’s formative years were filled with poverty and neglect, shaping the themes of his later works. His novels, such as “The Sea-Wolf” and “Martin Eden”, explore powerful ideas of survival, ambition, and social injustice. Even after gaining fame, London grappled with financial difficulties and a sense of disillusionment with society, prompting him to challenge the hypocrisy of the wealthy in his autobiographical essay, “What Life Means to Me”.
