To survive Buck must listen to the Call and learn the ways of his wolf-ancestors, who guide him from within. *White Fang* tells the story of a half-wolf, half-dog nearly destroyed by the vicious cruelty of men. Brought to the very brink of his existence, White Fang is lucky enough to experience the one thing that can save him—human love. Adventurer and activist, philosopher and alcoholic, Jack London was a man of great contradictions and greater talent. Both of these novels are written in a simple, direct, and powerful style that decades of readers have admired and that writers have imitated. **** **Tina Gianquitto**** holds a Ph.D. in American Literature from Columbia University and currently teaches at The College of the Mines in Colorado.
