“One cannot violate the promptings of one's nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.”
Quote by Jack London
Work
The Call of the Wild and White Fang
This combined volume presents two of Jack London's most celebrated works set in the unforgiving landscapes of the Klondike Gold Rush. In The Call of the Wild, Buck, a pampered domestic dog, is stolen from his California home and thrust into the brutal life of a sled dog in the Yukon, where he must tap into his ancestral instincts to survive and eventually answers the call of the wild. In White Fang, the story reverses the journey, tracing the life of a wild wolf-dog pup who is gradually domesticated through both cruelty and kindness, ultimately finding a bond with a human master. Both narratives examine themes of nature versus civilization, the law of club and fang, and the enduring power of instinct and adaptation in a hostile environment. more
