Synopsis "White Fang"

Jack London's White Fang is the story of a wolf-dog's journey from wildness into becoming civilized by humanity. Set in Canada's Yukon, a lot of the novel is told from an animal point of view, exploring how animals might see us, and see the world around them. White Fang's mirror novel is The Call of the Wild, London's best-known work, in which a civilized dog slowly becomes a wild animal.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
