In the desolate, frozen wilds of northwest Canada, a lone wolf fights the heroic daily fight for life in the wild. But after he is captured and cruelly abused by men, he becomes a force of pure rage.

“A thrilling story of adventure…stirring indeed…and it touches a cord of tenderness that is all too rare in Mr. London’s work.”
Chicago Record Herald on White Fang
-
“A big story in sober English, and with thorough art in the construction; a wonderfully perfect bit of work; a work that will be heard of long. The dog’s adventures are as exciting as any man’s exploits could be, and Mr. London’s workmanship is wholly satisfying.”
New York Sun on The Call of the Wild
