From the author of The Call of the Wild comes a mirror-image masterpiece-the journey not from civilization to the wild, but from the savage heart of nature toward the tentative light of trust. Born in the merciless wilderness, White Fang is a magnificent hybrid: three-quarters wolf, one-quarter dog. His world is a brutal, unforgiving place, governed by the harsh laws of survival. From his earliest days, he learns that life is a battle-against hunger, against rival predators, and, most formidably, against mankind. Passed from one cruel owner to another, he is shaped by violence and hatred, becoming a ferocious, solitary fighting dog, a "killer wolf" whose spirit is as untamed as the land itself. Yet within White Fang lies a conflict as great as any in the wild: the opposing pulls of his inherited wolfish instincts and the latent loyalty of his dog ancestry. His destiny changes when he encounters Weedon Scott, a man who shows him an unprecedented kindness. This fragile bond becomes a profound test, challenging everything White Fang knows about the world. Can ancient animosity be unlearned? Can love and loyalty redeem a creature forged in cruelty? White Fang is a profound exploration of the impact of environment and kindness on character, and an enduring testament to the possibility of redemption, even for the wildest of hearts.
