Summary: "Onnen suosikki: Romaani" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins in a lively tavern known as Tivoli, set in Circle City during the Klondike Gold Rush. The focus is on the main character, Elam Hamish, known as "Burning Daylight," who is a well-regarded gold miner and adventurer. The opening scenes depict a vibrant atmosphere filled with gambling, dancing, and camaraderie among miners, showcasing the spirit and challenges of life in the Yukon frontier. At the start of the story, the atmosphere in Tivoli is initially somber, but it quickly transforms with the arrival of Burning Daylight, who brings energy and excitement to the room.
