Summary |
"A collection of Jack London's most profound and moving allegorical tales. The call of the wild, London's masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canada's Yukon territory, is the story of a wolf-dog struggling to survive in a human society every bit as violent as the natural world. This is a volume of Jack London's famed stories of the North." |
