This paper deals with the question of presence of depression in Jack London´s life and his works. It concentrates on the semi-autobiographical work called Martin Eden and autobiographical work called John Barleycorn. These books served for the analysis of depressive feelings and depressing events occurring in author´s life. After reading carefully these books which reflect different periods of London´s life, and after studying the biographic works about him, it is obvious that he suffered from depression during his life and the illness influenced his writings.
