White Fang

Autor Jack London
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2008
From the pen of Jack London comes a tale of a wild animal that chooses friendship with a human. Most creatures are born with some wildness and some tameness in them. In White Fang, who is half dog and half wolf, this contrast is stronger than most. As an orphan in the Yukon Territory wilderness, he must survive through strength and ferocity. But as he comes closer and closer to the world dominated by humans, will he be able to cope with increasing domestication? Is human civilization all that different than the wild world he leaves behind? Jack London became famous for his stories set in the often harsh world of Alaska and Northern Canada. White Fang is one of the best-loved of these tales.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

White Fang is an allegorical adventure story about a part wolf, part dog who is born in the violent, harsh environment of the Canadian Yukon territory. The novel begins with two men attempting to bring a corpse back to civilization as they are followed by a pack of starving wolves. The novel, in its second act, switches to the perspective of the wolves. As a pup, White Fang endures battles of survival with his mother, One-Eye, against other wolves and a lynx. When One-Eye is in the close vicinity to a Native Indian village, she is recognized as an animal who had been part of the encampment at one point. Grey Beaver, a young hunter, adopts White Fang. The other dogs and pups resent the new addition to the village, and torment White Fang, who in turn becomes contentious. He is sold to a dog fighter, and into a brutal life of violence. He is eventually rescued and brought to California, to start a very different life in the care of a loving master and his family.

Although White Fang has become a very popular classic among readers, as an allegorical novel it is of great interest to sophisticated readers. The book has been adapted into many film versions, TV series, and animations.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of White Fang is both modern and readable.
