Life is struggle. From the howling wilderness of the Yukon to the brutal arenas of man, White Fang is Jack London's savage and sublime masterpiece of survival, adaptation, and transformation.

Half wolf, half dog, White Fang is born into a world of ice, hunger, and violence-a creature of pure instinct shaped by the merciless laws of nature. But when he is thrust into the even more punishing world of humans-where cruelty wears a different face-his struggle becomes existential. Can the wild be tamed? And at what cost?

First published in 1906, White Fang is a fiercely intelligent novel of evolution and environment, of power and submission, of love as a force stronger than brutality. Inverting the arc of his earlier novel The Call of the Wild, London traces the journey not from civilization into wilderness, but from savagery toward domesticity-with all the tension, resistance, and poignancy such a path entails.

A radical, realist writer with the soul of a mythmaker, Jack London wrote White Fang at the height of his powers. More than a tale of a dog or a wolf, it is a parable of being-and becoming-in a world that demands constant transformation to survive.
