Before you is Jack London’s famous cycle of stories about Smoky Bellew, whose craving for adventures pushed him onto a path of deadly dangers undertaken by desperate gold seekers—conquerors of the Klondike.
Written more than a hundred years ago, these stories still enchant readers today: a golden fever and the wooden wheel of roulette, dizzying swindles and dog-sled races, the fight against scurvy and the rescue of a starving tribe of Indians. The romance of discovery and the inimitable color of the North, the harsh struggle for survival and sparkling humor... Courage and steadfastness, friendship and love, nobility and loyalty...
The cycle consists of two collections—"Smoky Bellew" and "Smoky and the Kid."
