Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Revolution, and Other Essays by Jack London.This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective.--Revolution - The somnambulists - The dignity of dollars - Goliah - The golden poppy - The shrinkage of the planet - The house beautiful - The gold hunters of the North - Fomá Gordyéeff - These bones shall rise again - The others animals - The yellow peril - What life means to me .--Although best known for his adult fiction, Jack London wrote in almost every available corner, from verses to first-person research on the plight of the poor, from biographies to essays. A self-proclaimed socialist, London was very consistent in his views unlike many of his fellow writers.
