Burning Daylight by Jack London
"Burning Daylight" by Jack London is a novel published in 1910, and became London's best-selling book during his lifetime. The story follows its main character from the Yukon Territory and Alaska to San Francisco, tracing a dramatic journey across two distinct worlds. Named for a phrase meaning "spending time uselessly," the protagonist lives against this principle, determined to embrace life to its fullest. The novel's enduring appeal has inspired multiple film adaptations
across different countries and decades. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
