White Fang 

is an adventure novel written by American author Jack London who


is an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction.
White Fang was published in 1906, and just like “The Call of the Wild”, it set in
the Klondike Gold Rush.
Jack Conroy is a young gold hunter, who seeks gold in the enormous and the
snowy deserts of Alaska. One day, he saved a mixed dog-wolf from the hands
of a cruel man, and a brave friendship develops between the two. The dog-wolf,
who is named "the white fang" for it's sharp and white teeth, was left alone after
his mother was killed by a hunter. After a while, the white fang was taken from
Jack, by a man who put him in an illegal dog fighting pen to fight other dogs.
White Fang becomes a professional, experienced and a cruel killer. But
unexpectedly after a long time Jack meets him again and they renew their
friendship.
I have to admit that the book has such a great impact on me. A lot of valuable
lessons are subtly integrated. When treating someone kindly, we will be able to
touch even a cold lonely heart, and then we will get what we deserve, just like
how White Fang saved the life of Jack's family. This book is the one that I will
never forget for the rest of my life. It’s fast-paced, never any dull time, and it
has a reasonably tight arc from start to finish. Besides, I realized that, from the
perspective of a wolf, life seems so special. It’s very interesting.
White Fang is a good read! It certainly has many engaging and perceptive
moments, and it’s especially suited for those who have read The Call of the
Wild and wish to see the opposite perspective.
