This was the first Jack London book I've read, but it surely won't be the last. This book was beautiful.

I am on a quest to find a story, that my teacher was reading when I was in 6th grade that included a guy killing a bear and climbing inside of it to keep warm, this was not it.
If my world literature teacher ever sees this - they are in such cold climate because of the Gold Rush. They might been a part of Klondike Gold Rush. We can see that because the main character and Bill have lumps of gold, which they probably just got and did not have the possibility to treat it.
Anyway, this was a very interesting story about how far a man can push himself to survive. The man vs wolf walk was very interesting, especially for me, as my phone was threatening to die in the last page of the story. Love Jack London, just wish he was not racist as most of the people at that time.

"Love of Life" is a story written by Jack London in 1907. It presents the journey of 2 travelers through the Canadian forests. From betrayal to death, Jack shows us in a short way that the boundary between animals and humans isn't as thick as we thought.
Definitely give it a try!
