About The Book
<p><i>"The Wild still lingered in him, and the wolf in him merely slept." </i></p>
<p> White Fang, published in 1906 by Jack London, is an enthralling adventure novel set in the harsh Yukon wilderness during the Klondike Gold Rush. It follows the journey of White Fang, a wild wolfdog born into a savage existence. Struggling to survive in the brutal elements and facing hostile humans, he transforms from a fierce, untamed animal into a domesticated companion. Through encounters with both cruelty and kindness, White Fang learns the power of trust and affection. London's vivid storytelling contrasts the raw wilderness with the civilising influence of human relationships, highlighting themes of survival, loyalty and redemption. </p>
About The Author
<p><b>Jack London</b> (1876–1916) was an American author, journalist and social activist whose works were deeply influenced by his challenging early life and varied experiences. Born into poverty in San Francisco, he worked a range of jobs, including as a sailor and a gold prospector, before becoming a full-time writer. London’s writing reflects his adventurous spirit and fascination with the natural world, often exploring themes of survival, individualism and the human struggle against nature. A passionate advocate for social reform, he used his writing to comment on issues of class inequality, labor rights and the human condition. His compelling stories have cemented his place as one of the most influential American authors of the early 20th century.</p>
