London wrote in a Naturalistic style, in which a story's actions and events are caused mainly by man's internal biological needs, or by the external forces of nature and the environment. After winning a writing contest, he succeeded in selling some of his stories and in 1900, he published a collection of his short stories, The Son of the Wolf. Upon his return to the San Francisco area, he began to write about his experiences. Although London never found any gold, his experience in the extreme environment of this cold part of the world gave him ideas for the stories he would write when he decided to return to California. In 18, London, like many other American and Canadian men, went north to Alaska and the Klondike region of Canada to search for gold. However, he was not happy with this formal education and he soon dropped out. He briefly enrolled in a university and took English classes, for he loved to read and write. After completing school, London worked at various jobs to help support his family. Jack London's full name was John Griffith London, and he was born in San Francisco.
