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...

In the summer of 1902, respected American author Jack London (1876 1916), previously known for his descriptions of life during the Klondike Gold Rush, spent two months living 'down by the docks' in London's East End among the city's poorest residents. During this time he often slept in workhouses or on the streets, seeing first-hand how the impoverished struggled daily for adequate food, clothing and shelter while the rest of the city lived in relative prosperity - a prosperity which the author believed was gained at the expense of the poor. One of the earliest eyewitness descriptions of life...

Jack London was one of the first writers to write for fictional magazines. He was also one of the first American writers to earn a living just from his writing. Martin Eden is a writer who resembles London. When Eden sent a manuscript off in the mail he thought there was no human editor at the other end. There must be a machine designed to take the papers out of one envelope and put them into another one and address it for return. This idea has made this novel a favorite with writers who can empathize with Eden.
