- Abstract:
The paper is devoted to Jack London’s last two years of life (1915–1916). The author points to one of the possible important factors that led the writer to premature death from kidney disease – self-medication without consulting doctors. The article is a complement to the recently published Russian biography of London (2017). It is based on materials that are not included in the book, but are of interest to researchers, important for creating a balanced and complete biography of the writer.
