White Fang, published in 1906, is an adventure novel by Jack London set in the Yukon territory in Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush. It follows the story of a wolf-dog hybrid, White Fang, as he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. After his mother is killed by a group of Native Americans, White Fang is adopted by a man named Grey Beaver, who teaches him the way of the wild and introduces him to the harsh realities of life. White Fang is then sold to a cruel and abusive owner, but eventually escapes and is taken in by a kind-hearted Gold Rush prospector named Bill. White Fang learns the value of friendship and loyalty from his new master, and develops a strong bond with the humans he meets along the way. Through his adventures and challenges, White Fang learns important lessons about life, love, and survival.

Jack London (1876-1916) is one of the most renowned adventure and fiction authors in history, known for works such as The Call of the Wild, White Fang, and The Sea Wolf. He was born John Griffith Chaney on January 12, 1876 in San Francisco, California. London was the illegitimate son of astrologer William Chaney and Flora Wellman, a spiritualist and journalist. His mother married John London shortly after Jack’s birth, and the family moved to Oakland, California. London’s writing career began at the age of 17, when he worked as a reporter for the Oakland Herald. He then left school and began working aboard a sealing schooner, an adventure he later wrote about in The Sea Wolf. Later, he joined the Klondike Gold Rush and had a variety of experiences which he wrote about in his stories and novels. In 1900, London published his first novel, The Son of the Wolf. This was followed by a series of highly successful novels and stories, such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang. His works often featured themes of nature, adventure, and survival against extreme odds. London was also a socialist, and many of his works reflect his views on politics, social justice, and the environment. Jack London died of a kidney ailment on November 22, 1916 in Glen Ellen, California. He is remembered as one of the greatest authors of his time and his works continue to be widely read today.
