About the book

White Fang is Jack London’s companion novel to The Call of the Wild . In The Call of the Wild we follow a dog’s journey from domestication to wilderness, but in White Fang we see the opposite: a wild wolf-dog captured by men and eventually domesticated.

White Fang’s journey isn’t an easy one; both the wild and civilization have their share of brutal violence. But he eventually seems happy in a home with a loving family. When read side-by-side with The Call of the Wild , White Fang poses an interesting question: is wilderness really an improvement over civilization? Is there one right way to live?
