"Pakkasen lapsia" by Jack London is a collection of interconnected short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories draw from London's experiences in the harsh Arctic wilderness, depicting the struggles of different characters against the backdrop of the cold and unforgiving natural environment. Themes of survival, familial bonds, and the interplay between civilization and nature emerge prominently throughout the work. The beginning of the collection introduces us to the character of Koskoosh, an old man sitting by a fire in a desolate landscape, reflecting on his life and the cold reality of existence. As he listens to the bustling preparations of his tribe for a long journey, he contemplates his impending death and the unfeeling laws of nature that govern life and death. His memories are filled with images of a harsh past, including instances of starvation and hardship, contrasting with fleeting moments of abundance. The weight of his solitude and the inevitability of his end are underscored as he recognizes his frailty; he ultimately resigns himself to the "law of life" that dictates every creature's fate in the tundra.
