Summary "Etelämere auringon alla" by Jack London is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles London's adventurous journey around the world aboard his small sailing ship, the Snark, exploring themes of adventure, personal ambition, and the clash between man and nature. As the author embarks on this ambitious voyage, he reflects on his motivations and the challenges he faces, alongside his wife, Charmian, and friend, Roscoe. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the journey, beginning with London's thought process leading to the decision to undertake the adventure. He describes the inspiration drawn from conversations about small boats and ocean sailing, ultimately resolving to construct the Snark. As he outlines the challenges of building the ship and the skepticism from friends, he emphasizes his determination to explore the world despite societal norms.
