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.
