El tercer tomo que recoge los 197 relatos escritos por Jack London en sus cuarenta años de vida comprende los 46 que escribió entre 1910 y 1916. Incluye «El ídolo rojo» y «En el pabellón de los idiotas», dos de sus relatos más famosos. Catalogados y ordenados cronológicamente de acuerdo a la edición canónica de la Universidad de Stanford, se ofrecen, al igual que los dos primeros tomos, en traducción íntegra de Susana Carral, realizada expresamente para esta edición. Escritos durante su madurez, London ambienta doce de ellos en el Yukón, uno de sus territorios predilectos, donde las bajas temperaturas convierten al hielo y el frío en un enemigo mortal. Salta después a los Mares del Sur, con la serie de ocho relatos sobre David Grief, que empiezan con «Hijo del sol» y acaban en «Las plumas del sol». Son ocho cuentos ambientados en los mares del sur, Hawái y otras islas en las que los caníbales todavía no han aprendido a ruborizarse ante el dios de los blancos.

Si bien es cierto que a lo largo de su trayectoria literaria Jack London (1876-1916) trató una gran diversidad de temas, la parte de su obra más característica, especialmente en lo que concierne a sus relatos, es la que corresponde a las experiencias acumuladas durante su estancia, en el invierno de 1897, en la región de Klondike, donde llegó arrastrado por la fiebre del oro que atrajo por entonces a Alaska a centenares de miles de americanos. Al igual que «Colmillo Blanco» (BT 8017), las dos narraciones incluidas en el presente volumen, LA LLAMADA DE LA NATURALEZA (1903) y BÂTARD (1902), corresponden a esta serie y se cuentan entre las más conocidas del autor. Protagonizados ambos por perros y magistrales en su género, estos relatos de London nos transportan a un mundo primigenio, quizá menos alejado de lo que desearíamos de nuestra propia civilización.
You're ready to write your book, but where to begin? Characters? Conflict? Dialogue? Story arc? In a lot of ways writing your book is like building a home or raising your child, efforts of love and patience that are hard enough in their own right but almost impossible without having a blueprint or the examples set by some devoted predecessors to show the way. Writing your book sounds like work, and it is - but you can do this. Los Angeles Book Festival Finalist, 2015. Let's start.
En la Patrulla Pesquera, relatos publicados en 1905 en la revista The Youth's Companion, encontramos la descripción de unos personajes singulares que entendían que en aquella bahía y en aquella época todo era válido, que la audacia y el valor eran los que determinaban las jerarquías, y que las mismas estratagemas, el todo vale, la trampa, el engaño, usan los protagonistas, veladores del orden, para poder detener a los infractores de una ley que no castiga tanto el robo como una pesca indiscriminada y, por lo tanto, salvaje.
