White Fang

White Fang first appeared serially in Outing in 1906, achieving instant worldwide success. White Fang serves as a companion to The Call of the Wild. Instead of a domesticated dog returning to the wild, White Fang follows a wild wolfdog’s transition to domesticity during the Kondike Gold Rush in Alaska. London uses his canine protagonist to explore the violence of wildlife and critique the violence of human beings. It is considered to be an allegorical autobiography of London’s transition from trouble teenager to the middle-class.
