Synopsis "El Idolatra (in Spanish)"

El Idólatra es una de las más bellas historias de amistad de la historia de la literatura. Una amistad forjada en el peligro y la adversidad, y alimentada a lo largo de casi dos décadas por el afecto, la confianza y la solidaridad. Sorpresa, aventura, riesgo, y una alta dosis de humanidad destilan estos trepidantes relatos ambientados en los Mares del Sur, feroces e idílicos escenarios por los que discurrió, tanto en la ficción como en la vida real, el genial escritor e impenitente aventurero Jack London.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
