Born in the wild, the wolf-dog White Fang quickly learns the law of nature: eat or be eaten. Captured by Indians, bullied by another dog, and then turned into a killer, he becomes vicious and fiercely independent. Rarely has the raw realism of life on the edge of civilization been so vividly captured. But in this classic animal novel, Jack London also has other points to make - that animals and human beings alike are deeply affected by the way they are treated.

"A wolf-dog (part wolf part dog) is born in the Alaskan wilderness and grows to become a dog of great strength through his struggles and sufferings. Captured by Indians, sold to an evil whiteman and later to a compassionate whiteman, White Fang ultimately finds a softer side to his nature. The story is simply but beatifully told and is a very engaging and heart-warming account of one dog's history. I highly recommend the book." — Craig (5 out of 5 stars)

" Good stuff. Go read it. "
" LOVED the beginning, but then I got really bored really fast. Skipped to the end. "
" This is the first adventure book that I read where the story is told from the POV of a wolf-dog and I remember enjoying it tremendously as a child. I remember being on my toes whenever danger approaches and feeling quite sorry whenever misfortune comes to White Fang. This book really engaged me and made me want to read more. "
" White Fang has my heart. For ever. It's a sad story, but so sweet at the same time. I'd read it again and again. ;-) "
" It took me awhile to finish it because I lost interest halfway through. A lot of repetition of dog/wolf battles, hunting, obeying the master, etc. I skimmed the last few chapters, actually! "
" it was borin and it carried on along way "
" I love this book because I love dogs and wolves and this is an adventure book "
" Loved it, especially because so much is written from the point of view of the wolf. May have read it as a kid, but don't remember. Good for all ages anyway. "
" Ate it up as a kid reading every dog book there was. "
" Once again Jack London creates a fantastic novel, a great read and a touching tale. the movie is also good "
" No greater story teller than Jack London "
" This is the first book that I chose to read on my Kindle. What a wonderful story about interactions and relationships, with people and animals as the main characters. White Fang's journey from the wild to loyal family member was told in this well written story. A joy to read! "
" Must read for a boy growing up. "
" Very cute. Although White Fang is a wolf you feel like you know his personality like that of any human storyline hero. "
" I love reading Jack London. I enjoyed White Fang, even though it drags at times. London is such a great storyteller and he always has me riveted with what is going to happen in his stories. "
" Just re-read this book today. This wolf is a total badass. "
" Davvero un bel libro da leggere..una storia molto coinvolgente.. "
" Thanks for suggesting this one, Judy "
" Master story teller, great read for any age. "
" White Fang is an immensely engaging saga of Nature vs. Nurture, and despite the frigid atmosphere it has a lot of heart. "
" Beautifully written tale of being molded and created by the treatment of others. Focuses, of course, on instinct and animal behavior, but with more than a nudge to contemplate the equivalent in humanity. "
" I really enjoyed the book but to me the ending was way too sudden. Other than that is was pretty legitimate. "
" it was a great book and i loved it "
" A lot more gruesome than I remember.... at least it ends well. "
" I really do like this book and Jack London but it took me forever to finish. "
" <3333 I have read this sooo many times. I love this book. I LOVE THIS BOOK. <3333 "
" WOOF WOOF AND HOWL. Slash kill and murder.What will become of him when he is shot?Will he recover? "
" Awesome read! I've read this story several times over the years. I never tire of Jack London. Unlike many authors of his era he clear and straight to the story which also makes him an easy read. London is not wordy like many other nineteenth century authors that I've read. "
" To be honest I read the book because it was available for the KIndle at no charge and we were heading out for a nice long trip through New Mexico. I did not find it as enjoyable as some of London's other works. "
" Recently re-read this on Kindle, and 20 years later, still enjoyed it. "
" One of many old "classics" that my parents introduced me to when I was around 8 or 9 years old. Out of all those books, this was one of the ones I liked the best, although I've still never felt any strong desire to go back and read it again. "
" White Fang may be the first adult level novel that I ever read. I think I bought it at a book fair when I was in fourth grade. Unfortunately I don't remember much about it except that it's about and man and his wolf friend. "

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.
