White Fang
By Jack London
White Fang is a sequel and companion novel to The Call of Wild and in many ways a thematic mirror. Where the first book dealt with a domesticated dog embracing his wildness, here White Fang, a hybrid wolf-dog born, gradually overcomes the harsh “survival of the fittest” circumstances in the wilds of the Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush and becomes domesticated. Much of the story is told from White Fang’s perspective. He is the only survivor in his litter of five; the others die from hunger. His father, One Eye, is killed trying to steal food from a lynx for the cub. His mother, Kiche, kills the lynx but is seriously injured. The two meet a Native American, Grey Beaver, who recognizes Kiche as his brother’s vagrant wolf dog and adopts the two, but White Fang is persecuted by the other dogs and his mother is sold off. He grows up a callous, savage, solitary, and deadly fighter. At age five a drunken Grey Beaver sells him to an evil dog-fighter, where he defeats all comers until he is nearly brought down by a bulldog. He is rescued by a rich, young gold-hunter, who slowly tames him and brings him home to California from the Yukon, where he performs a heroic feat and settles into a tranquil existence. The book was an immediate worldwide success on release in 1906 and has been popular ever since, especially with younger readers. It has been translated into 89 languages and often adapted for film and television.
