White Fang
London, Jack
Synopsis "White Fang"
White Fang is a story of a half-wolf, half-dog, who completely understands the cruelty of both nature and humans. After nearly dying to death during the cold Arctic winter, he is seized in first by a man who "trains" him through constant whipping and later compelled to participate in brutal fights. The story takes a twist as he survives these obstacles and finally meets someone who offers him compassion and love.John Griffith Chaney (1876-1916), more famously known with his pen name Jack London, was an American novelist, journalist and social activist. A pioneer of commercial fiction and American magazines, he was one of the first American authors to become an international celebrity and earn a huge fortune from writing.
Jack London (1876-1916), seudónimo de John Griffith Chaney, es uno de los grandes escritores estadounidenses de los albores del siglo XX. Su mundo se inspira en una interpretación muy subjetiva de la filosofía de Nietzsche y se construye a partir del principio de lucha por la supervivencia. Nacido en San Francisco, fue esencialmente un niño autodidacta que leía con avidez los fondos de la biblioteca pública. Con diecisiete años se embarcó en su primera goleta, rumbo a Japón. Tras varias experiencias como marinero y vagabundo -razón por la que también fue encarcelado-, London acudió a la Oakland High School y, posteriormente, a la Universidad de California, que tuvo que abandonar por problemas económicos. Como muchos, sufrió la fiebre del oro hasta que, finalmente, se dedicó a la escritura.
