White Fang is a novel by American author Jack London
(1876–1916) — and the name of the book's eponymous
character, a wild wolfdog. First serialized in Outing magazine, it was
published in 1906. The story details White Fang's journey to
domestication in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories during
the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It is a companion novel (and a thematic
mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild, which is
about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to
survive and thrive in the wild.
