Buck is taken from a comfortable Californian home into the Klondike, while White Fang travels the opposite road from the wild toward human company, and the two novels sit here in one volume.
Jack London published The Call of the Wild in 1903 and White Fang in 1906, and reading them together shows how deliberately he built one as the mirror of the other. Survival, instinct and the thin line between domestication and wildness drive both, told in the direct prose that has kept these books in print for more than a century. This jacketed hardcover carries an introduction from Kenneth K. Brandt, a scholar of London's work, and a timeline of the author's life and era, issued as part of the Chartwell Classics series.
