The Little Lady Of The Big House
London, Jack
Synopsis "The Little Lady Of The Big House"
The Little Lady of the Big House is a novel by American essayist Jack London. The story concerns a circle of drama. The hero, Dick Forrest, is a farmer with a graceful streak (his "oak seed tune" reviews London's play, "The Acorn Planters."). His better half, Paula, is a fiery, athletic, and physically mindful lady (in one scene, she rides a steed into a "swimming tank," arising in "a white smooth slip of a swimsuit that shaped to her structure like a marble-carven veiling of curtain.") Paula, as Charmian, is dependent upon sleep deprivation; and Paula, as Charmian, can't bear youngsters. In light of a perusing of Charmian's journal, Stasz recognizes the third vertex of the triangle, Evan Graham, with two genuine men named Laurie Smith and Allan Dunn. Indeed, even minor characters can be distinguished; Forrest's worker Oh My looks like London's valet Nakata. The long-unshaven vagrant rationalist Aaron Hancock looks like the genuine deep rooted whiskery vagabond logician Frank Strawn-Hamilton, who was a drawn out visitor at the London farm. Artist Haakan Frolich shows up as "the stone carver Froelig" - and painter Xavier Martinez shows up as the person "Xavier Martinez!"
Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
