Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

White Fang is an allegorical adventure story about a part wolf, part dog who is born in the violent, harsh environment of the Canadian Yukon territory. The novel begins with two men attempting to bring a corpse back to civilization as they are followed by a pack of starving wolves. The novel, in its second act, switches to the perspective of the wolves. As a pup, White Fang endures battles of survival with his mother, One-Eye, against other wolves and a lynx. When One-Eye is in the close vicinity to a Native Indian village, she is recognized as an animal who had been part of the encampment at one point. Grey Beaver, a young hunter, adopts White Fang. The other dogs and pups resent the new addition to the village, and torment White Fang, who in turn becomes contentious. He is sold to a dog fighter, and into a brutal life of violence. He is eventually rescued and brought to California, to start a very different life in the care of a loving master and his family.

Although White Fang has become a very popular classic among readers, as an allegorical novel it is of great interest to sophisticated readers. The book has been adapted into many film versions, TV series, and animations.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of White Fang is both modern and readable. 


Textul de pe ultima copertă

When "White Fang" was first published in 1906, Jack London was well on his way to becoming one of the most famous, popular, and highly paid writers in the world. "White Fang" stands out as one of his finest achievements, a spellbinding novel of life in the northern wilds.
In gripping detail, London bares the savage realities of the battle for survival among all species in a harsh, unyielding environment. White Fang is part wolf, part dog, a ferocious and magnificent creature through whose experiences we see and feel essential rhythms and patterns of life in the animal kingdom and among mankind as well.
It is, above all, a novel that keenly observes the extraordinary working of one of nature's greatest gifts to its creatures: the power to adapt. Focusing on this wondrous process, London created in "White Fang" a classic adventure story as fresh and appealing for today's audiences as for those who made him among the bestselling novelists of his day.


Notă biografică

Jack London wurde am 12. Januar 1876 in San Francisco als John Griffith Chaney geboren und starb am 22. November 1916 in Glen Ellen in Kalifornien. Er war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller und Journalist.

London wurde als uneheliches Kind einer Frau aus gutem Hause und eines unsteten Astrologen und Wanderpredigers geboren, der die Vaterschaft abstritt. Als seine Mutter den Geschäftsmann John London heiratete, nahm dieser ihn als seinen Sohn an.

Da der Stiefvater Invalide wurde, wuchs London in ärmlichen Verhältnissen auf und musste schon in seiner Kindheit Geld verdienen. Mit 14 brach er die Schule ab und lief weg. Er begann ein Leben als Landstreicher, Abenteurer und Matrose. 1895 absolvierte er nachträglich seinen Abschluss auf der High School und besuchte dann die Universität von Berkeley. Sein Studium beendete er nicht.

1897 brach London stattdessen zum großen Goldrausch nach Klondike auf - jedoch erfolglos. Zurück in Kalifornien gelang ihm der Durchbruch als Schriftsteller, und er heiratete seine erste Frau, mit der er zwei Kinder bekam. Schon nach vier Jahren folgte die Scheidung und London brach mit seiner Yacht zu Abenteuerreisen nach Hawaii und Australien auf. 1905 heiratete er erneut und führte bis zu seinem Tod eine glückliche Ehe. 1910 zog das Paar auf eine Ranch, die London als sein eigentliches Lebenswerk betrachtete. Seine letzten Jahre waren allerdings geprägt von Depressionen und Alkoholkonsum.

London verfasste ab 1900 hunderte von Romanen, Kurzgeschichten und Reportagen, die auch Vorlage für zahlreiche Verfilmungen wurden. Darunter die Welterfolge "The Call of the Wild", "The Sea-Wolf" und "White Fang". Sein Hauptthema: die Spannung zwischen Natur und Kultur.

Jack London starb im Alter von 40 Jahren am 22. November 1916 auf seiner Ranch an akutem Nierenversagen, doch auch über Selbstmord wird bis heute spekuliert.
