| Summary | "Kulkurielämää: Nuoruudenmuistelmia" by Jack London is a collection of memoirs written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the author's experiences as a young vagabond traveling across America, focusing on themes of freedom, societal norms, and survival. The primary character appears to be the author himself, recounting his adventures and the challenges he faces while living a transient lifestyle. At the start of the memoir, the narrator arrives at Niagara Falls, deeply moved by the majestic sight of the waterfalls. However, his exploration leads him into trouble, as he is quickly apprehended by the police for being a transient—something he refers to as a "pummi." This incident lands him in jail, where he witnesses the swift and harsh processes of the legal system against other vagrants, receiving a sentence himself without a fair trial. Throughout the opening, the narrative captures the injustices and realities of life for those living on the margins of society, setting the stage for the author's reflections and further experiences during his incarceration.
