Synopsis "White Fang"

White Fang is a story of a half-wolf, half-dog, who completely understands the cruelty of both nature and humans. After nearly dying to death during the cold Arctic winter, he is seized in first by a man who "trains" him through constant whipping and later compelled to participate in brutal fights. The story takes a twist as he survives these obstacles and finally meets someone who offers him compassion and love.John Griffith Chaney (1876-1916), more famously known with his pen name Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a huge fortune from writing.

Jack London (1876-1916), pseudonym of John Griffith Chaney, is one of the great American writers of the early 20th century. His world is inspired by a very subjective interpretation of Nietzsche's philosophy and is built on the principle of survival of the fittest. Born in San Francisco, he was essentially a self-taught child who avidly read the collections of the public library. At seventeen, he embarked on his first schooner, heading to Japan. After several experiences as a sailor and vagabond -which also led to his imprisonment-, London attended Oakland High School and later, the University of California, which he had to leave due to financial problems. Like many, he suffered from gold fever until he finally turned to writing.
