Jack London

— Hello! I’m an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. I believe in the need for systematic work and never wait for inspiration. By nature, I am not only a person, but also a melancholic. But I managed to overcome both in myself. I was greatly influenced by the discipline I learned when I was a sailor.

*The first author in the world to become a millionaire from his writing.
