2019-07-01 – White Fang & The Call of the Wild by Jack London has been released as part of the Whitewolf Classic collection. Originally released in 1906 and 1903 respectively, the Whitewolf Classic edition contains the original English text.
Description: White Fang is a wolf-dog hybrid born to a wild she-wolf near the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories of Canada. He is shortly taken and adopted as a pup to a tribe of Indigenous people, starting his life on a long road towards domestication with human beings.
The Call of the Wild complements the story of White Fang as it follows the tale of Buck, a 140lbs. St. Bernard-Scotch Shepherd mix born to a wealthy family in Santa Clara Valley, California. Buck finds himself on an opposite journey from domestication to a return to the wild as he encounters different human beings and finds himself in the Yukon Territory of Canada during the Klondike Gold Rush.
The Whitewolf Classic edition of both White Fang, released in 1906, and The Call of the Wild, released in 1903, have been combined to detail the complementary nature of each story. Both stories touch on aspects of nature versus nurture, survival of the fittest, and the rugged and harsh conditions of the Canadian frontier in the northern territories during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
