Jack London usually puts his characters in tough conditions and shows how they overcome all difficulties.
The story "Bald-face" was inspired by the writer's 'gold rush' period, when he went searching for gold. The main character tells a breathtaking story happened to him, when he was attacked by a bear in a forest and escaped. This story will certainly thrill everyone who read it.
