Wow, wow, wow! That is how I would sum up this story by Jack London. What an incredibly gripping tale of survival this short story turned out to be. Right from the very first sentence, you are trapped and can't help reading the rest of this compelling story.
The story is simple and immediately understandable; two gold prospectors are suffering from starvation as they trudge wearily across the frozen tundra of Canada to find food. One of the men is called Bill, and the other—our protagonist—remains unnamed for the entirety of the story. Unfortunately for our man, starvation, and exposure to the harsh el...

13. Apr. 2007 · The tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens. When the unexpected does happen, however, and when it is of sufficiently grave import, the unfit perish. They do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of ...
