Unique Elements* Historical Context* Detailed Twentieth-Century Historical TimelineAn Animal Adventure Nature Literary Classic by Jack LondonWhite Fang by American author Jack London is a book of literary fiction first published in 1906 in the United States.A celebrated fight for survival classic filled with thrilling adventure and building connections.Sneak Peak'To man has been given the grief, often, of seeing his gods overthrown and his altars crumbling; but to the wolf and the wild dog that have come in to crouch at man's feet, this grief has never come. Unlike man, whose gods are of the unseen and the overguessed, vapours and mists of fancy eluding the garmenture of reality, wandering wraiths of desired goodness and power, intangible out-croppings of self into the realm of spirit - unlike man, the wolf and the wild dog that have come in to the fire find their gods in the living flesh, solid to the touch, occupying earth-space and requiring time for the accomplishment of their ends and their existence. No effort of faith is necessary to believe in such a god; no effort of will can possibly induce disbelief in such a god. There is no getting away from it. There it stands, on its two hind-legs, club in hand, immensely potential, passionate and wrathful and loving, god and mystery and power all wrapped up and around by flesh that bleeds when it is torn and that is good to eat like any flesh.'SynopsisWhite Fang is the lone survivor of his family and is part dog, part wolf. He quickly learns to observe the brutal law of the North - kill or be killed - in his lonely world. Nothing, however, can prepare White Fang for the harsh owner who transforms him into a terrible killer.
