A collection of Jack Londons most profound and moving allegorical tales The Call of the Wild, Londons masterpiece about a dog learning to survive in the wilderness, sees pampered pet Buck snatched from his home and set to work as a sled-dog. White Fang, set in the frozen tundra and boreal forests of Canadas Yukon territory, is the story of a wolf-dog struggling to survive in a human society every bit as violent as the natural world. This volume of Jack Londons famed stories of the North also includes Batard, in which an abused dog takes revenge on his owner; and Love of Life, in which an injured prospector, abandoned by his partner, must struggle home alone through the wilderness, stalked by a lone wolf. In his introduction, James Dickey probes Londons strong personal and literary identification with the wolf-dog as a symbol and totem. Andrew Sinclair, Londons official biographer and the volumes editor, provides a brief account of Londons life as a sailor, desperado, socialist, adventurer and acclaimed author.
