Overview

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.

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.

About Jack London

Born in San Francisco, Jack London (1876–1916) shoveled coal, pirated oysters, sailed with a sealing schooner, and worked in a cannery as a youth. In 1897, London traveled to the Yukon to join the Klondike gold rush, an experience that inspired many of his later works. Best known for The Call of the Wild (1903), he wrote and published more than fifty volumes of essays, novels, and short stories, and was one of the most popular authors of his era.
