Publisher Description

Jack London’s tales are more than epics of hardship and survival—they are morality plays in which good wins over evil.

In the desolate, frozen wilds of northwest Canada, a wolf cub finds himself the sole survivor of his litter. Son of Kiche, half-wolf, half-dog, and the ageing wolf One Eye, he is thrust into a savage world where each day renews the struggle of survival. It is a lonely but noble life—until the day he is captured by dog-driving men. The cruel mistreatment he bears in this new life of slavery teaches him to hate.

Only one man sees beyond the rage of White Fang to his intelligence and dignity. Only one has the courage to offer the killer a new life. But can his kindness reach the heart of White Fang?

Quotes

  • “American novelist Jack London’s greatest stories are revisited in this production, which offers a strong and powerful narration by John Lee. Lee’s commanding presence is perfectly suited for these classic tales of the Klondike, in which animals fight for survival against all odds. The stories are legendary, and Lee is certainly aware of this. He gives London’s work the utmost respect and admiration in his reading while making each story his own through his captivating performance. As he brings every word to life, his enunciation is clear and his tone impassioned. He transports listeners to the desolate North, casting them out into the wild to fend for themselves. Simply stunning. L.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2008 Audies Finalist, NEA Big Read Selection

  • “Snow muffles the landscape in this companion to The Call of the Wild: ‘Dark spruce forest frowned on either side the frozen waterway. The trees had been stripped by a recent wind of their white covering of frost, and they seemed to lean toward each other, black and ominous in the fading light.’”

    - New York Times

  • “In sheer force of delineation, passionate feeling for the wilderness and for the things that live in it, The Call of the Wild is quite unsurpassed in American writing. It is fully matched in both these respects by White Fang...wonderfully convincing. No stronger piece of work in this field has appeared.”

    " I only read The Call of the Wild, haven't read White Fang yet. Stories about animals are also at the top of my list and I think Jack London did an amazing job narrating. It is captivating how he uses words to paint the picture, you don't even need an imagination. "

    " I revisited Jack London's Call of the Wild after 8 years and it mesmerized me then as it did today. London is superb at moving the plot along with his straight forward and direct style that makes reading his work a thoroughly enjoyable experience. White Fang, started slowly, but picked up and struck a chord where I felt a kindred spirit of this creature, particularly upon the transformation from hate-filled fiend to adoring companion. Both are great reads, and both will take readers on a thrilling adventure of the imagination to lands far north. "

    " I absolutely love White Fang. It's quite unexpected how London starts his story with the she-wolf and not directly with the main character. I was caught unexpected so i read on eagerly. Throughout the story, nobody can miss that london is a faithful believer of Darwin's survival of the fittest. What worst, he keeps on reminding of how "the clay is mold into different shapes depends on the environment." It gets on my nerve sometimes feeling I'm being preached. I didn't think I'd like it until the part when White Fang meets his love-god Scout. I actually cried when his master decides to leave White Fang behind and locks him in the cabin. It's such a memorable, powerful story one hardly comes across in literature. ^^! "

    " At my parents house, there is a set of Jack London books and short stories that sits on the shelf in our living room. I have tender memories of those books, because when I was a little girl my Daddy would read them to me. White Fang and The Call of the Wild were my favorites. "

    " Brilliant. No wonder these are regarded as classics. As the synopsis suggests, reading the two novella together is a good idea. These reminded me of Black Beauty in style, yet London captures the harshness of the Northland and its people with the ever-present "Wild" that sets these two works apart. "

    " I think it's funny London is mainly known for these dog books. He's written much more, though mostly man vs. nature, the beast inside of man. It all builds a very Marxist, atheistic view of man and the world. Call of the wild is really no exception, neither is White Fang. "

    " My fifth grade teacher read White Fang aloud to our class way back in 1971. I was mesmerized by London's language and the images he conjured up in my mind. I read Call of the Wild later and decided then and there that Jack London was up there on my favorite authors list. "

About the Author

Jack London (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist, and social activist. Before making a living at his writing, he spent time as an oyster pirate, a sailor, a cannery worker, a gold miner, and a journalist. He was a pioneer in the then-burgeoning world of commercial magazine fiction and was one of the first fiction writers to obtain worldwide celebrity and a large fortune from his fiction writing. He is best known for his novels The Call of the Wild and White Fang, both set during the Klondike gold rush, as well as the short stories “To Build a Fire,” “An Odyssey of the North,” and “Love of Life.”  He also wrote of the South Pacific in such stories as “The Pearls of Parlay” and “The Heathen.” He was a passionate advocate of unionization, socialism, and the rights of workers and wrote several powerful works dealing with these topics, including The Iron Heel, The People of the Abyss, and The War of the Classes.
