1. “In order to face the constant danger of hurt and even of destruction...he became quicker of movement than the other dogs...more ferocious, and more intelligent. He had to become all these things, else he would not have held his own nor survived”.So writes Jack London of White Fang, the title character in one of his most well-known books. Through London’s tale, the listener will come to know the intriguing life of a wolf-dog from his birth in the wilds of arctic Yukon Territory to his end of days as a resident of a California estate. White Fang’s story is marked by themes of determination, will to survive, and redemption, and has been enjoyed by generations of readers since it was first published in 1906.

"Both of these tales, one of a civilized dog who embraces the wild after he is stolen and one of a wild dog tamed by the love of a man...are both masterpieces that embrace the animal and flawed humanity in man and the the beasts that show us so and brave so much. Both are raw, emotional tales told in sparse, beautiful language that gnaw at you long after you put them down. First read at age 12, and enjoyed again as much at 41."
— Donna (5 out of 5 stars)
“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 byWhite Fang...wonderfully convincing. No stronger piece of work in this field has appeared.”
— New York Independent" This is my all time favorite book. I love the way the story is written, both of the stories. Both Buck and White Fang bring you through so many emotions. "
— Amber, 2/20/2014" Dammit this book is great. It's about wolves, sure, but there really is a much deeper philosophical meaning, that probably says something really profound about the human condition (although that part mostly over my head). There's something about the way he writes that sort of draws you into his Alaskan wilderness. It's great, really truly. "
— Sandy, 2/20/2014" 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. "
— Michael.e.philpott, 2/20/2014" The beginning of The Call of the Wild was nothing more than a glorified tale of animal abuse. As a vegetarian and animal lover, my stomach was in constant turmoil in response to the horrid deaths and terrible whipping and clubbing endured by these creatures. For that reason alone, I won't read White Fang, as I have heard it is more of the same. I give this one star for an interesting dog's point of view, one for the beautiful scenery and realistic interaction between the animals, and one for everything that happened after John Thornton entered the picture. "
— Carissa, 2/19/2014" I read both books in one day. It was a nice escape. I know there's potential to analyze it in a way that would depress me thoroughly, relating it to the reality of human cruelty and indifference, but for now I'll just let it be the story that it is. "
— dara, 2/18/2014" Fascinated me in junior high, then amazed me in grad school; London's realism appeals to all, which is both fascinating and amazing! I remember my experience of reading "To Build a Fire" as if it were yesterday...it was actually over 20 years ago. "
— Meri, 2/18/2014" Read while my son was reading as required school novel. Good, quick read on a cold night that mirrored the Alaskan tale. "
— Sara, 2/17/2014" found this book to be a great read and kept my attention throughout the whole story. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes adventure and nature. "
— Ethan, 2/17/2014" I know I know, it's a classic. But...I'm just not that into it "
— Emily, 2/17/2014" awesome book but so sad! "
— Lydia, 2/17/2014" I read this book in the 5th grade, it was my favorite book back then. It's a survival story, and a good one at that. "
— Epi, 2/14/2014" Hadn't read these novelettes since high school and I was amazed at how well Jack London wrote. The stories don't seemed outdated at all. Great imagery and really in-depth character development. He was a true master. "
— H, 2/11/2014" I love wolves. I love Jack London. These 2 books are THE BEST!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! I LOVE THEM!!!!! "
— Wolffang, 2/8/2014" AMAZING. Jack London is king. Favorite book of all time. "
— Erika, 2/5/2014" As a boy, I must have read this book at least 5 times. I loved it much more than Call of the Wild. I think the friendship between the boy and his dog/wolf represented something I would have liked to have experienced. It was one of the first books I checked out on my first library card. I might try it again sometime. "
— Bill, 2/3/2014" I was bored out of my mind when iI read this book. "
— Samantha, 2/3/2014" I really enjoyed how this book went through White Fang's life, and how it explained how he came to exist, and how he turned mean, but then became tame again. "
— Maggie, 2/3/2014" Storyline can be boring and really only picks up in the end. Also, for any highschooler reading it, keep a dictionary on hand. "
— Sam, 2/3/2014" Read it when I was still a little girl back in the swamps of southern Louisiana... it helped to shape my life! "
— Cathy, 2/2/2014" Not much of a dog fan, but absolutely appreciated this glimpse into a dog's life. Very beautifully told, and I really enjoyed it, especially the ending. "
— Liz, 2/2/2014" The most important book of my childhood. Very exciting story! "
— Marieka, 2/2/2014" Didn't "get" it. I'm afraid I prefer Jack London's quotes on writing to his view of the dog life. "
— cait, 1/30/2014" This was a good book. I am not that into wildlife and killing books but this one was good. I hated how sad the life of White Fang was in the beginning, but then loved the ending. "
— Sariana, 1/29/2014" Jack London has a terrific writing style, but the content is dry for my taste. As it has been several years since I last read this work, however, perhaps a re-reading would alter my initial observations. "
— Ben, 1/29/2014" Probably one of my favorite books of all time, and one of the many I wished would continue longer, or have a sequel. These books were my introduction to reading at a higher level, and London is a masterful writer. "
— Michelle, 1/27/2014" i love these little pocket books. a great couple of stories as well. quintessential London. "
— Sarah, 1/27/2014" Dammit this book is great. It's about wolves, sure, but there really is a much deeper philosophical meaning, that probably says something really profound about the human condition (although that part mostly over my head). There's something about the way he writes that sort of draws you into his Alaskan wilderness. It's great, really truly. "
— Sandy, 1/26/2014" Nature enthusiasts will enjoy both these tales, though having never read them in my youth, I found some parts surprisingly more violent than I'd expected these classic "kid's stories" to be; almost too graphic and descriptive in the telling of bloodletting, at times. Yet this is likely exactly as London wanted: tales that capture the lessons of Nature in Her rawness; of harsh realities, adaptation, survival, and ultimately triumph through adversity. "
— Rick, 1/26/2014" Truly pain and fear. Truly wild heart "
— Tun, 1/25/2014" Good adventure from start to finish. Hope I never bump into a wolf! "
— James, 1/23/2014" a great book but more than likely it will make you cry. "
— Sandbutterfly, 1/22/2014" I liked reading a book about the transformation of a dog from the dog's perspective. Buck made decisions that affected his life and while no one can really know if a dog has decision-making skills per se, after getting to know my husband's dogs and seeing their distinct personalities, one of whom was a husky that was driven to explore, you just can't say "it's not possible" with any degree of certainty. "
— Margie, 1/21/2014" Brilliant! Buck is the fiercest, most unbreakable creature. Inspirational. "
— Aaron, 1/20/2014" **This book is not the same edition that I read. "
— Jessica, 1/20/2014" it was borin and it carried on along way "
— Addie, 1/20/2014" I loved this book when I was younger. As an animal lover (especially dogs!) I love when animals are the main characters of the story. Jack London did a great job of going into the mind of Buck and his transition from a housepet to a strong, rough, brave wild dog. "
— Hannah, 1/19/2014" THe book call of the wild touches peoples heart through how Jack london describes how the animals were ill-treated and half starved. "
— Attack_of_the_woggles, 1/18/2014" Wonderful book!! I highly recommend it to everyone. I can't say enough about how great this book is. "
— Sharon, 1/18/2014" Swiss family Robinson and this are my favorite classics EVER!!! "
— Elliott, 1/18/2014" One of my childhood favorites. "
— Naughteebits, 1/18/2014" This is possibly one of the most underated books of all time (by that I mean "White Fang"). It is masterfully told and is worth a read. Possibly one of my favourite books! "
— Geoff, 1/17/2014" Read this combo of his two classics on our trip to Alaska...made them even more interesting as we headed north. "
— Rob, 1/14/2014" These books involve animal cruelty and animal compassion by humans. In both stories, nature and animals are powerfully connected, and you will leave these books feeling you understand dogs firsthand. "
— Mrs., 1/13/2014" The most important book of my childhood. Very exciting story! "
— Marieka, 1/13/2014" This isn't the sort of book which I usually read. It's the story of White Fang, a wolf with a bit of domestic dog in his bloodline. It starts in Canada where White Fang is born and follows his life to eventual domestication. I read this book mainly because it was mentioned by the Mitford sisters and I was curious to know what it was about. "
— Katrina, 1/13/2014" And, I've pretend as if I was at grade 6, reading the story again. It's simply a little happiness, a little joy when you buy a book and at the same time you had bought a ticket leading the way back to your sweet childhood. "
— Thuỳ, 1/12/2014" Jack London is the reason why I started to get into books. I love the whole view from an animal thing. "
— Keosha, 1/11/2014" My favorite London, even better than Call of the Wild. "
— Carlin, 1/9/2014" This is beautiful. Wish I would have found it sooner. "
— Kimberly, 1/8/2014" I read this book about 30 years ago when I was ten. It has remained a favorite and I actually reread it a couple of times during my teen years. It is a great classic. "
— Amanda, 1/6/2014" I love this book. You root for White Fang through the entire book and can't help but be happy he finds his happiness in the end. "
— Sashalai, 1/5/2014" These two books are the best to have ever been written. "
— Patrick, 1/5/2014" i could not finish this "
— Lindsay, 1/3/2014" describing how animals think and feel on a very human level, great set of stories. "
— Franklin, 1/2/2014" 3rd grade favorites of mine. "
— Alice, 1/2/2014" 3rd grade favorites of mine. "
— Alice, 12/31/2013" i learned those who are nice become big and succesful. But those who are not have bad fate. "
— Toni, 12/30/2013" my dad suggested these books to me, i like how it was written from the dog's point of view. "
— Mikaela, 12/28/2013" Read while my son was reading as required school novel. Good, quick read on a cold night that mirrored the Alaskan tale. "
— Sara, 12/25/2013" I loved this book when I was younger. As an animal lover (especially dogs!) I love when animals are the main characters of the story. Jack London did a great job of going into the mind of Buck and his transition from a housepet to a strong, rough, brave wild dog. "
— Hannah, 12/24/2013" another classic i felt i had to read. This was really good at time and worse at others. Also, don't read it before bed, I had a nightmare about a wolf puppy attacking me while I tried to love it! "
— Jess, 12/23/2013" I think I was in fifth grade when I read this? Didn't like it then. "
— Anittah, 12/23/2013" The book has a fantastic suspend to it !!! "
— David, 12/21/2013" the best narration i had ever read,the main character a dog(i thought i should write here dog or not b'coz i am so full of respect for it and "dog" word is not appropriate it seems).Its been pleasure reading to this tale. "
— Sourabh, 12/20/2013" This is not a book for people who are sensitive about the maltreatment of animals, or who dislike intense descriptions of raw, bloody nature. London's writing leaves little to the imagination and the relentless cruelty makes for a challenging read. "
— Joe, 12/19/2013" Timeless stuff, for almost any age. Reread at 40 year intervals, and confirmed my affection for London. Among the essential pieces everyone should read. Has well survived the hardest test, that of time. "
— Bob, 12/19/2013" Never read it as a kid, and I will never want to read it again! Just too emotionally moving. "
— Elyse, 12/17/2013" Took forever for me to have time to finish all of this but we loved it. The descriptiveness and clarity used had an entrancing effect on me as stories of my childhood. I loved it. My daughter (10) also kept asking for more every night. "
— Sarah, 12/16/2013" I liked it when I was a teen. "
— Ayoshak, 12/13/2013" ehh okay i guess not my thing "
— Angel, 12/13/2013" Read White Fang for English in High School and totally enjoyed it "
— Paul, 12/12/2013" I am a little confused because of the way they speak... "
— Danielle, 12/10/2013" Great book a easy reading classic. "
— Joe, 12/10/2013" I read this as a teenager and loved the stories and the settings and re read it regularly too. Its a powerful story and one that just engrosses you from beginning to end. "
— Gilly, 12/5/2013" i love these little pocket books. a great couple of stories as well. quintessential London. "
— Sarah, 11/29/2013" Good book for kids. My grandson was reading it in Missouri, and he said he didn't like it that much. I sat down and read it one day while he was in school. I enjoyed it. Would recommend it to my cub scouts. "
— Connie, 11/28/2013" 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. "
— Rachelle, 11/28/2013" Not that thrilling never really was able to get into it. "
— Lilly, 11/24/2013" Good book for kids. My grandson was reading it in Missouri, and he said he didn't like it that much. I sat down and read it one day while he was in school. I enjoyed it. Would recommend it to my cub scouts. "
— Connie, 11/24/2013" I said, BRR! It's cold in here. It must be something in the atmosphere. "
— Natasha, 11/22/2013" This is my all time favorite book. I love the way the story is written, both of the stories. Both Buck and White Fang bring you through so many emotions. "
— Amber, 11/21/2013" a classic i'm glad i read :) "
— Marco, 11/19/2013" Re-read. As solidly enjoyable as ever, although if you described London's writing style to me I never would think it as capable as it is of describing the brutal toils of sled dogs. "
— Yune, 11/17/2013" Truly pain and fear. Truly wild heart "
— Tun, 11/13/2013" These are two amazingly written, brutal, beautiful stories. What insights into the mind of an animal. What fabulous scenery! What adventure! They are both love stories of a sort and transport you to the Yukon and everywhere else the story takes us. "
— Autumn, 11/3/2013" Depressing. If you like cold things or dead things, read these stories. "
— Andy, 11/1/2013" And, I've pretend as if I was at grade 6, reading the story again. It's simply a little happiness, a little joy when you buy a book and at the same time you had bought a ticket leading the way back to your sweet childhood. "
— Thuỳ, 10/23/2013" This, like The Old Man and the Sea, is one of those books I read every couple of years to remember what good writing is all about. "
— Scott, 10/23/2013" Interesting read from a realistic animal POV. Enlightens you to the Darwinistic view of nature and animal behaviour. A good storyline and lots of adventure as well. "
— Leon, 10/17/2013" Loved these as a kid. Always wanted to have sled dogs (still kinda do) "
— Ellis, 10/7/2013" really like his stories and style of writing "
— Umair, 10/1/2013" How can it have taken me this long to read local boy Jack London? Spectacular, especially The Call of the Wild. I don't know how I feel about this Hallmark edition, but the cover IS fuzzy, so I'm hesitantly giving it a thumbs-up. "
— Kris, 9/28/2013" 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. "
— Michael, 9/27/2013" Wonderful book!! I highly recommend it to everyone. I can't say enough about how great this book is. "
— Sharon, 9/10/2013" I'm a science fiction fan, and as a science fiction fan I really enjoyed Call of the Wild and White Fang. There's something very alien about "The Wild" as Jack London describes it, and science fiction writers could learn a lot form his writing. "
— James, 9/5/2013" Gripping and moving - the kind of book you'll want to read again. "
— Cynthia, 8/27/2013" I liked it when I was a teen. "
— Ayoshak, 8/19/2013" ehh okay i guess not my thing "
— Angel, 8/13/2013" First real "novel" I've ever read. That's how I started to love Jack London's narrative style. Straight to to point, wild and sometimes plain cruel. "
— Stanislav, 8/2/2013" a great book but more than likely it will make you cry. "
— Sandbutterfly, 8/1/2013" The writing style isn't awesome... until you recognize that you are witnessing the world through the eyes of an animal... very cool. "
— Lee, 7/30/2013" I never get tired of reading the old stories of Jack London "
— John, 7/22/2013" Ignoring the racist elements and insipid ending, the book started of brilliantly, Its worth a read for the first few chapters. "
— Ahmad, 7/22/2013" 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. "
— Danielle, 6/16/2013" If you read The Call of The wild, then read this. Really good "
— Rex, 6/14/2013" there are reasons why certain books and authors become "classic". "
— 'judy, 5/25/2013" It's been ages since I read this book...reading it again with my 7th grader. I'm thoroughly enjoying the book again and am glad to be sharing it with him. "
— Marlene, 5/23/2013" I read this when I was a kid. Great story, I loved it at a time when i hated reading. However, I wonder if it will be just as good to read as an adult. Easy read "
— Jim, 4/16/2013" Read while my son was reading as required school novel. Good, quick read on a cold night that mirrored the Alaskan tale. "
— Sara, 3/28/2013" I love the stories being told from the perspective of the animals as well as the grand circle the two stories take in their beginning and end. The harshness of life is painted very vividly in these tales and it was nice to see the happy ending that White Fang had. "
— Aaron, 3/27/2013" sad and brutal reality of the Alaska and its first people trying to make it thier home, wolves nature. Godd writng , not a silly story. "
— Rimma, 3/19/2013" IT was great to re-read this book. Hadn't read it since I was a teenager. I love the writing style of Jack London. "
— Jon, 3/14/2013" I thought it was an absolutely amazing book!!! I really liked how realistic it was, and how White Fang's life constantly changed. "
— 704Mei, 3/6/2013" Not that thrilling never really was able to get into it. "
— Lilly, 3/5/2013" Just like The Call of the Wild, I can't stand this book. Utterly boring. "
— Jenee, 2/24/2013" A fun read, but nothing spectacular. "
— Greg, 2/7/2013" Just shut up and read these. "
— Travis, 2/5/2013" Brilliant! Buck is the fiercest, most unbreakable creature. Inspirational. "
— Aaron, 1/26/2013" Brilliant. No wonder these are regarded as classics. As the synopsis suggests, reading the two novella together is a good idea.

— Michael, 1/20/2013" I really enjoyed this book, it was extremely nice i took very long to read it because i didn't want the book to end.... "
— Kiara, 1/14/2013" FAVORITE BOOKS IN THE WORLD!!! MUST READ!!! "
— Charlie, 12/23/2012" Somewhat simplistic, I was expecting more. Not deserving of the Top 100 label, except for its enduring popularity. "
— Stacy, 12/20/2012" I read these books back in early high school 9th grade I think. Very good, I love stories with dogs. "
— Boyd, 12/16/2012" Never read it as a kid, and I will never want to read it again! Just too emotionally moving. "
— Elyse, 11/17/2012" Had read it in school, forgot it, enjoyed it again "
— Chloer, 11/15/2012" I read this when I was a kid. Great story, I loved it at a time when i hated reading. However, I wonder if it will be just as good to read as an adult. Easy read "
— Jim, 11/4/2012" The first book (and movie) that instilled in me a love of wolves. After this, I read every book about wolves I could get my hands on, and they are still my favorite animals today. "
— Carly, 10/15/2012" Best book I've been forced to read for school "
— Stephanie, 10/9/2012" I loved this classic and first read it in Middle School. If you appreciate this authors writing and happen to visit Northern CA stop by Glen Ellen ( Sonoma County) to visit London's home and museum collection. "
— Mace, 10/1/2012" I really enjoyed this book, it was extremely nice i took very long to read it because i didn't want the book to end.... "

— Charlie, 9/3/2012" Loved all of it great way to teach a lesson. "
— Logan, 9/1/2012" This is my all time favorite book. I love the way the story is written, both of the stories. Both Buck and White Fang bring you through so many emotions. "
— Amber, 8/30/2012" White fang was better than call of the wild. But enough is enough of brutal dog beatings. I think it's a mans book. No thanks. "
— Karina, 8/9/2012" i could not finish this "
— Lindsay, 7/26/2012" I read this when I was a kid. Great story, I loved it at a time when i hated reading. However, I wonder if it will be just as good to read as an adult. Easy read "
— Jim, 7/25/2012" describing how animals think and feel on a very human level, great set of stories. "
— Franklin, 6/17/2012" Call of the Wild was my preference--it was just the proper length for its message. I really enjoyed the character and the whole atmosphere of the dog-sledding world. White Fang was really good, but it dragged in parts and I wasn't thrilled with it the entire time. "
— Kyle, 6/7/2012" Tough but fair, a gentle loyalty. "
— Jim, 6/6/2012" Gripping and moving - the kind of book you'll want to read again. "
— Cynthia, 5/21/2012" Read both as a child and liked them, but now it's time to re-read as I don't remember much at all. "
— Iain, 5/20/2012" 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. "
— Karey, 5/20/2012" AMAZING. Jack London is king. Favorite book of all time. "
— Erika, 5/1/2012" Loved this one - as a ten year old! "
— Veronique, 4/23/2012" Fascinated me in junior high, then amazed me in grad school; London's realism appeals to all, which is both fascinating and amazing! I remember my experience of reading "To Build a Fire" as if it were yesterday...it was actually over 20 years ago. "
— Meri, 4/22/2012" I'm a science fiction fan, and as a science fiction fan I really enjoyed Call of the Wild and White Fang. There's something very alien about "The Wild" as Jack London describes it, and science fiction writers could learn a lot form his writing. "
— James, 3/1/2012" A fun read, but nothing spectacular. "
— Greg, 1/30/2012" One of my favorite books. "
— Karissa, 1/5/2012" Another excellent story set in the Gold Rush Yukon -- of a pair with Call Of the Wild. You reall feel for these animals as they suffer the torments of wind, cold, and trying to stay fed. London was there and he perfectly captures the setting. "
— Amy, 12/28/2011" Didn't "get" it. I'm afraid I prefer Jack London's quotes on writing to his view of the dog life. "
— cait, 12/16/2011" IT was great to re-read this book. Hadn't read it since I was a teenager. I love the writing style of Jack London. "

— Tharker06, 11/25/2011" I think I was in fifth grade when I read this? Didn't like it then. "
— Anittah, 10/30/2011" 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. "
— Amy, 9/8/2011" a classic i'm glad i read :) "
— Marco, 8/6/2011" 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. "
— Michael.e.philpott, 7/24/2011" ultimate freedom is in wild "
— Husky, 7/23/2011" I read this in second grade and I would't mind reading it again. But I guess I'm to old for it now. ): "
— Logan, 6/19/2011" One of my ALL time favorites! "
— Erin, 6/14/2011" Somewhat simplistic, I was expecting more. Not deserving of the Top 100 label, except for its enduring popularity. "
— Stacy, 5/15/2011" Call of the Wild was my preference--it was just the proper length for its message. I really enjoyed the character and the whole atmosphere of the dog-sledding world. White Fang was really good, but it dragged in parts and I wasn't thrilled with it the entire time. "
— Kyle, 5/10/2011" This book helps stoke the wildness within any young boy. It's about badass wolves and the spiritual connection to them, to fire, to history, etc. "
— TeacherMrLoria, 5/8/2011" A very enjoyable story - the best review I can give is to recommend reading it! "
— Michael, 4/25/2011" I found London's White Fang to be very entertaining--which was quite the surprise because it was a required book for a class that has been full of very boring books! White Fang was an enjoyable read! "
— Malinda, 4/14/2011" Read White Fang this year, which was the worst of any of the stories of his I've read, but notable for its masculinist author using the word puppypack. CotW is good, though, and The Sea-Wolf is awesome. A classic. "

— Sherri, 1/31/2009Jack 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.
