Summary/Abstract: Overall creativity of Jack London (1876-1916) could be, generally speaking, divided into three major thematic-motive circles, with the exception of two voluminous novels - The Iron Heel and Martin Eden. The first corpus belonged to the works relating to the life of the Far North: Blue Wolf, Daughter of Snow, Frost Children, Gold and other works. The heroes of these novels are brave and fearless people, idealists in their struggle with the difficult life and cruel nature. The second corpus includes so-called ‘sea’ theme: Sea Wolf, Stories from the South Seas and other works specific by an outstanding exoticism and vibrancy of the coastal environment. The third part of the creative London’s corpus consists of novels about animals, to be more precise - the dogs.
