Swain.He was three quarters wolf and all fury. Born in a cave, in famine, in the frozen arctic.

It was White Fang's world--until he and his mother were captured by the man-gods.But men and their dogs taught White Fang to hate. He was beaten, abused, attacked. He was bought, sold, tortured, trained to kill in blood sports. Knowing no kindness, he became a mad, lethal, creature of pure rage.Only one man saw White Fang's intelligence and nobility. Only one had the courage to offer the killer a new life. But can a wolf understand the word "hope"? Can a creature of hatred understand the word "love"?

This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Classic includes a glossary and reader's notes to help readers appreciate the richness of London's language and perspective. IN THE FROZEN NORTH during the Gold Rush days, marauding canine killers hunt in packs and search for their next victim. Sadistic dog trainers are looking for easy money. And the unconquerable spirit of a vicious wolf roams free until he receives a human being's love and understanding. All these come together in White Fang, Jack London's classic sequel to The Call of the Wild. While the novel chronicles the life story of White Fang from birth until his eventual domestication, the story also serves as a comparison of what London saw as the characteristics we all share with world of the Wild-adapt and thrive, or die. We are as helpless against the uncaring savagery of the North as is the newborn wolf cub. The fast-paced action of White Fang never lets up; danger is always waiting beyond the next pile of snow or beneath the claws of a snarling predator. Weaving adventure, bravery, greed, survival of the fittest, and instinct versus nurture, London's novel was an immediate success when it was first published in 1905, and it has been so ever since.
