"A bold mix of realism, allegory, adventure, and progressive politics, this collection features Jack London's most profound and moving literary works. The Call of the Wild, London's elemental masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog during the Klondike Gold Rush. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canada's Yukon Territory, is the story of a wolf-dog hybrid struggling to survive in a human society every bit as brutal as the natural world. This volume of London's famed Northland novels also includes an early feminist story, 'The Night-Born,' and a pro-labor story, 'South of the Slot'"--Page 4 of cover.
