Si la vida de Jack London (1876-1916) constituyó una permanente búsqueda de la aventura allá donde ésta pudiera ofrecerse (en las heladas extensiones del Klondike, en las más remotas islas de los Mares del Sur, en la guerra ruso-japonesa de 1904 o en el México revolucionario), su gran pasión fue el mar y la navegación. Pescador ilegal de ostras en las cercanías de Oakland durante su primera juventud, pasó después a formar parte de la tripulación de una patrulla cuya misión consistía, precisamente, en imponer la ley entre los furtivos que saqueban las aguas de la Bahía de San Francisco. Fruto de aquellas tempranas experiencias son los Siete cuentos de la patrulla pesquera, publicados en 1905, que, junto con otros dos relatos también relacionados con el mar, integran el presente volumen. Colmados de acción y de un extraordinario vitalismo, de continuas peripecias, de personajes pintorescos y enfrentamientos resueltos en inesperados desenlaces, estas narraciones alcanza la difícil sencillez que caracteriza la época de madurez del autor y el mejor estilo del género de aventuras.

Work Description

In this classic collection of stories drawn from his own experiences, the author looks back on his days as a teenager aboard the fishing boats of San Francisco Bay. In the early 1900s, men of all stripes descended on these waters to plunder its rich oyster beds. To stop the run on the waters, a patrol was established. Jack London began his youthful adventures on the wrong side of the law, as an oyster pirate. But conscience and common sense got the better of him, and at the age of 16 he became a member of the Fish Patrol. Dedicated to enforcing the many laws that were passed to protect the fish, the Fish Patrol had many death-defying encounters with the pirates. These 7 short stories, based both on Jack's experiences and those of his fellow deputies, describe these incredible encounters.
