Synopsis "White Fang "

This is a story about a crossbreed between a dog and a wolf, that, after being born in total freedom is captured by a tribe that lives nearby. This event makes him experience a deep change in his life, as he gets to know the human race along with its traditions and consider them as some sort of god, creator and a righteous being. Action develops between two opposite worlds: life in the wild and civilized world. Both worlds have one thing in common: that cruelty is rampant. However, they differentiate in the lack of moral thoughts in the first world.

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.
