White Fang

White Fang (1906) is one of the world famous animal stories. Set in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush of the late 1890s, White Fang relates the tale of a wolf born and bred in the wild which is civilised by the master he comes to trust and love. The brutal world of the Klondike miners and their dogs is brilliantly evoked and Jack London's rendering of the sentient life of White Fang as he confronts his destiny is enthralling and convincing. The deeper resonance of the story derives from the author's use of the myth of the hero who survives by strength and courage, a powerful myth that still appeals to our collective unconscious.Tanıtım Metni
