Raised in poverty as an illegitimate child, Jack London dropped out of school to support his mother, working in mind-deadening jobs that would foster a lifelong interest in socialism. Brilliant and self-taught, he haunted California's waterside bars, brawling with drunken sailors and learning about love from prostitutes. His lust for adventure took him from the beaches of Hawaii to the gold fields of Alaska, where he experienced firsthand the struggles for survival he would later immortalize in classics like White Fang and The Call of the Wild.

A hard-drinking womanizer with children to support, Jack London was no stranger to passion when he met and married Charmian Kittredge, the love of his life. Despite his adventurous past, London had never before met a woman like Charmian; she adored fornication and boxing, and willingly risked life and limb to sail and explore. She typed his manuscripts while he churned out novels, serving as his inspiration and his critic.

Lover, fighter, and onetime hobo, Jack London lived large and died before he was forty. This is a rare biography, from bestselling historian Alex Kershaw, that proves the truth can be more fascinating--and a far greater adventure--than a fiction.

Amazingly versatile
Color: E Black
Fun! It is really beautiful and easy to use. It is just about as big as your elbow to your fingers. It is great for necklaces and even bracelets and rings! It doesn’t shake unless you hang heavy necklaces on it. It is really stable otherwise though! It’s really easy to hang on the hook. If you have a clasp necklace, all you need to do is clasp it and put it on the stand. I’m amazed by the different types of jewelry you can put on, you can even put earrings on there but they might get lost so I don’t. Other than that so awesome!

Love the ability to have some of my more fragile items in here. A place where I can store without issue. The leather feels nice, it’s very sturdy, it’s a great black color, and I would get this again.

looks nice
Color: Brown, Size: 10.2" x 8.4" x 1.8"
Little smaller in person than I expected but the quality is very nice and the tray looks great on the coffee table. It holds eyeglasses, TV remote and other items I didn't want possibly scratching the table. It looks in person just like the photos.

Bought this for my husband's nightstand. He keeps his cologne in this and he loves the deep green color. The material seems very nice and the product is good quality.
