In the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush, a half-wolf, half-dog hybrid named White Fang struggles for survival. Born in the wild, White Fang experiences both the cruelty of nature and the brutality of man as he encounters various masters throughout his life. From the nurturing care of Weedon Scott to the harsh treatment of the vicious Beauty Smith, White Fang's journey is one of adaptation and resilience, ultimately leading him to find his place in the world.
Jack London vividly portrays the primal forces at work in the wilderness and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. Through White Fang's experiences, London delves into the fundamental questions of identity and belonging, seen through the eyes of an animal but universal in its feeling.
JACK LONDON [1876-1916] was an American author who, during his short life, wrote a total of 49 novels and numerous short stories. Before his debut, he had been a hobo, sailor, and gold prospector.
