White Fang
London, Jack
Synopsis "White Fang"
"The book might have been named 'The Call of Control' as distinct from 'The Call of the Wild.' It is the same Alaskan life approached from another angle. The book is in no sense a sequel to the other, but a new, longer, more adventurous, dramatic, and entrancing story." - Daily News. "Mr. London's vigorous, incisive style, unconventionality, and sympathetic understanding of Nature and of her children in the rough, never combined to better advantage than in 'White Fang' - by far the best thing that has come from his pen since 'The Call of the Wild, ' and in some points an even better dog story. . . . ' White Fang' is a splendid story, but it is more than a story - it is a wonderful study in animal nature and development." - New York Times' Saturday Review. "A thrilling story of adventure . . . stirring indeed . . . and it touches a chord of tenderness that is all too rare in Mr. London's work." - Record-Herald, Chicago.
Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
