White Fang

White Fang is the title of a novel by American author Jack
London. The novel was first serialized in The Outing Magazine in May to
October 1906. It is the story of a wild wolfdog's journey toward becoming
civilized in Yukon Territory, Canada, during the Klondike Gold Rush at the end
of the 19th century. White Fang is a companion novel (and a thematic
mirror) to London's best-known work, The Call of the Wild, which concerns
a kidnapped civilized dog turning into a wild animal.

Much of the novel is written from the view-point of animals, allowing London
to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White
Fang examines (sometimes graphically) the violent world of wild animals and
the equally violent world of supposedly-civilized humans. The book also
explores complex themes including morality and redemption.

White Fang has been adapted for the screen numerous times, including a
live-action Disney film in 1991 which starred Ethan Hawke.
