Jack London - White fang
White fang
Jack London
Descrizione
Life is hard and dangerous for both people and animals in the frozen Canadian North. For a wolf like White Fang it is a continuous fight to find food - a fight in which many animals die. When White Fang meets the people of the North - first Indians and then White Men - he learns to live with them like a dog. But some men are cruel to their dogs and others are kind. Seen through the eyes of White Fang -who is half dog, half wolf- the story follows the creature as he is forced to endure a series of harsh environments that turn him from his youthful innocence to cruelty.
When White Fang was first published in 1906, Jack London was well on his way to becoming one of the most famous, popular, and highly paid writers in the world. White Fang stands out as one of his finest achievements, a spellbinding novel of life in the northern wilds. London bares the savage realities of the battle for survival among all species in a harsh, unyielding environment. White Fang is ferocious and magnificent creature through whose experiences we see and feel essential rhythms and patterns of life in the animal kingdom and among mankind as well.
