Jack London berichtet über seine Zeit als Tramp nach der Wirtschaftskrise gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts. Man lernt die Gefahren und Strapazen des Lebens als Landstreicher kennen. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei das Reisen als Hobo per Bahn auf einer Blindplattform oder unter dem Zug. Der Autor geht aber auch auf „General“ Kellys Armee und auf einen Gefängnisaufenthalt ein.

Jack London was an American author, journalist, and adventurer. London s early careers as sailor, fisherman, and prospector provided inspiration for his later writing, and it was only when he returned from the Klondike that London decided to focus on social activism and journalism. He soon became a popular magazine columnist and author, and a prolific commercial writer, penning over two dozen novels, and numerous short stories and poems. His most famous works include The Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea-Wolf, and the short stories To Build a Fire, and An Oddyssey of the North. London died in 1916.
