Synopsis "El Talon De Hierro (in Spanish)"

Nombre que le otorga el obrero revolucionario Ernest Everhard al gobierno que la Oligarquía industrial construye en el siglo XX. En la historia a finales del siglo XIX, las grandes corporaciones industriales han ido creando monopolios en industrias estratégicas (los correos, los ferrocarriles, etcétera), hasta convertirse en una especie de casta social superior e impenetrable, bien parapetada por su control del Gobierno, la policía, el ejército y los tribunales de justicia. En este contexto, los obreros intentan organizarse para hacer acción política contra el Senado. En respuesta, el Talón de Hierro prepara un atentado fraudulento en el Congreso de los Estados Unidos, a través del cual pueden iniciar una vigorosa represión, y prácticamente abolir la democracia.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
