Jack London was an American author who wrote The Call of the Wild and other books. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first Americans to make a lucrative career exclusively from writing. Here are four of his best stories: "The Whale Tooth", "To Build a Fire", "The House of Pride", and "The House of Mapuhi".

In his tales of the South Seas, Jack London often employs dark humor and grim irony in order to illuminate the clash of cultures. In "The Whale Tooth", a white man becomes the victim of his own impulse to proselytize the benighted "heathens" on Melanesia.
