Description

White Fang is a wolfdog who was born wild but becomes more dog-like after being domesticated by a Native American chief named Gray Beaver. Traveling through the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, White Fang struggles for survival. White Fang must overcome bouts of hunger, and survive attacks by a bulldog, a lynx, and several packs of wolves. Much of White Fang is written from the viewpoint of the canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality, conformity, and redemption. This case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.

Author Biography:

John Griffith "Jack" London (born John Griffith Chaney, (January 12, 1876 - November 22, 1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. A pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction alone. Some of his most famous works include The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set in the Klondike Gold Rush, as well as the short stories "To Build a Fire," "An Odyssey of the North," and "Love of Life." He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as "The Pearls of Parlay" and "The Heathen," and of the San Francisco Bay area in The Sea Wolf. London was part of the radical literary group "The Crowd" in San Francisco and a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers. He wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, such as his dystopian novel The Iron Heel, his non-fiction exposé The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
