Opis

EXCEPTIONAL UNABRIDGED EDITION Read the greatest novel by Jack London in a beautifully presented edition. White Fang story, first published in 1906, takes place in the desolate, frozen wilds of northwest Canada. White Fang, a part dog, part wolf cub finds himself the sole survivor of a litter of five. In his lonely world, he soon learned to follow the harsh law of the North - kill or be killed - and became a ferocious and magnificent creature. But nothing in his young life prepared him for the cruelty of the bully Beauty Smith, who buys White Fang from his Indian master and turns him into a vicious killer - a pit dog forced to fight for money.
Much of the novel is written from the viewpoint White Fang, through whose experiences the author makes a parallel between the wilderness life among animals and the violent world of humans. Jack London (1876-1916), was an American author, journalist, and social activist.
This masterpiece, set during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, is based on the author's experiences as a gold prospector in the Canadian wilderness. Its great popularity and success made a reputation for Jack London. This enthralling adventure is a must-read of American classic literature and will delight readers of all ages. From the same publisher, Atlantic Editions, read also the other masterpiece by Jack London: The Call of the Wild.
