This collection includes the stories "White Fang" and "The Call of the Wild," set in Alaska during the time of the Gold Rush. The heroes of these works are brave Indigenous people and daring white adventure-seekers, wise Eskimos, and, of course, dogs that are iconic to London’s writing—dogs that, under the sharp and original pen of the author, while retaining their animal traits, gain vividness and psychological depth no less than human ones—and in some ways even surpass them.
