The Creative Features of Jack London

In Jack London's works, we can often feel the heroic complex. Worship of life itself, pursuit of primitive form and spiritual freedom of life and meaning of existence. In Jack London's works, the hero is integrated with the harsh wasteland, where life often shows its original shape.

Primitive form, releasing the opposite desire that is far from familiar with earthly water, a kind of energetic, jumping and even violent anger. There is a heroic temperament that does not easily give in to death. This is a combination of freedom and passion like Dionysus in ancient Greek mythology, which issued the most primitive call of life-tenacious survival.
