Product Description

Product Description
Two of Jack London's best-loved masterpieces. Call of the Wild tells a compelling tale of adventure during the Yukon Gold Rush, and captures the unquenchable spirit of Buck, a kidnapped dog trying to survive in the harshest of environments. White Fang follows the savage life of a magnificent half wolf, half dog.
Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Buck did not read the newspapers, or he would have known that trouble was brewing, not alone for himself, but for every tide-water dog, strong of muscle and with warm, long hair, from Puget Sound to San Diego. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Buck realizes his potential, 18 Dec 2005
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Call of the Wild & White Fang (Wordsworth Classics): AND White Fang (Paperback)
Gold was found in Alaska, the rush to obtain it required a strong constitution and many dogs to do the work that horses usually did in the states. The environment bread harsh attitudes. Also in the testing of ones mettle one finds their true potential.

Buck (a dog that is half St Bernard and half Shepherd) goes through many lives, trials, and tribulations finally realizing his potential. On the way he learns many concepts from surprise, to deceit, and cunning; he also learns loyalty, devotion, and love. As he is growing he feels the call of the wild.

This book is well written. There is not a wasted word or thought and the story while building on its self has purpose and direction. The descriptions may be a tad graphic for the squeamish and a tad sentimental for the romantic. You see the world through Buck's eyes and understand it through his perspective until you also feel the call of the wild.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Ripping Yarns, 9 Jun 2009
By I. M. Knight (Huddersfield, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Call of the Wild & White Fang (Wordsworth Classics): AND White Fang (Paperback)
These are two great stories by Jack London from the times of the Klondike Gold Rush. These have often been shown on TV in a cartoon adaptation and this is often regarded as a children's book but there is plenty here to hold interest for the adult reader and the stories are more adult in their nature and themes when compared to the cartoons.

London often draws on his own experiences and it is well worth considering reading a Jack London Biography as his life story could be regarded as a `ripping yarn' itself.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Dog's tale....., 27 Jan 2005
By A Customer
I found this book a little slow to start with, and it seemed to be going nowhere fast. However once the main character, the dog White Fang, was introduced it really gripped me. He is an excellent hound, tenacious and fierce yet with a huge capacity for loyalty and love. I enjoyed reading about his life from puppyhood onwards and all his many adventures. I would highly recommend this book. Great insight into the relationship between man and his best friend, perhaps more as it used to be than it is now.
