«La quimera del oro» is Jack London's collection of adventure stories, published by Anaya in hardcover (256 pages, in Spanish).
The gold rush in Alaska brings together prospectors, trappers and swindlers fighting to survive in a frozen, ruthless landscape. Extreme cold is almost another character in these tales, in which greed and avarice contrast with generosity and loyalty. The volume shows human adaptability and the stoic acceptance of death.
1984 edition in the Tus Libros collection from Ediciones Generales Anaya, with translation by Jacinta Romano, selection and appendix by Francisco Cabezas Coca and illustrations by Justo Barboza.
Suitable for young readers and school reading, as well as for those who enjoy classic adventure fiction.
