The Wolf who Lived Like a DogBy Alastair BrowneThe story begins with White Fang's mother, a half wolf, half dog, a wild predator in the Arctic who literally stalks her prey that includes dogs and humans. After a while, and I won't get into the gory details, but there are many, she mates with a full bred wolf to produce a litter, including White Fang, who ends up being the only survivor of the breed.Being in his cave for a while, he comes out and discovers the world, his world, being the Arctic, in Alaska and the . Coming upon humans for the first time, he looks upon them as gods, and comes under three different masters, one Native, one cruel master who only uses him for dog fights in a betting ring, and then is rescued by a more benign owner who ends up taking him to California in the end.This wolf is trained to protect his owners, though he hated his second master, to pull dog sleds, and most of all, to defend himself.There are three different stories of the wolf being under these masters, doing all sorts of chores, and you learn something of Arctic life during the Alaskan gold rush.Most off, the author delves into the mind of the wolf, how he thinks, and how he deals with the world. The main plot here is that White Fang lives like a dog, but cannot completely adapt himself to the dog's instincts, as his masters and their kin expect him to do. He does not jump for joy at the sight of his master, or other humans. He is suspicious of all other dogs, and lets them know, by fighting them, that he is the one in charge. The wolf will go as far as to kill other animals, both for food and to prove his own superiority. However, he is faithful to his masters, but to no other human. The wolf has to constantly be trained not to kill certain animals and to respect the master's kin, but can and will defend his master, and family, against any outside intruder, even to kill them.The main point here, I think, is that wolves are not dogs. Wolves have natural instincts that cannot be trained out of them. They can interbreed with dogs, but dogs are much too domesticated, and wolves are too wild ever to become pets.This book pictures the struggles of this fact, with White Fang struggling with his inner nature, trying to overcome them to adapt to the world of humans. The wolf succeeds, but not without many harsh lessons.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Classic Jack LondonBy Charles A. RayPart dog and part wolf, White Fang is, along with his mother Kiche, the sole survivor of his pack. When he and Kiche are taken in by an Indian tribe, White Fang begins a journey from Wild to Domesticated that is long, arduous, and painful.White Fang by Jack London is a companion to Londonrsquo;s Call of the Wild, told mostly from the animalrsquo;s point of view. This reissue of a London classic has some editorial revisions, according to the publishers, but retains the authorrsquo;s voice and ability to portray the untamed frontier of his day. For a reader who wants to be introduced, or as in my case, reintroduced, to a classical American literary figure, this book is an excellent jumping off point. The characters, though animal, are portrayed in terms that humans can understand, but without lsquo;humanizingrsquo; them.This book shows why Jack London was one of the most regarded authors of his time. I received a free copy of this book, and without hesitation, give it five stars.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I love this bookBy HelenI love this book! I read it a long time ago (back when I was 12 years old) I believe I received it for free from but I'm not sure. I wanted my grandsons to read it and hopefully love it as much as I do. Instead, I reread it myself and it was just as good as I remembered. There is just something heartwarming about the love between a human and a dog. Parts of this book was sad, parts were uplifting but all of them were entertaining! I would recommend this book to everyone (especially those who love animals). It is timeless!

1906 edition, illustrated "White Fang" is a novel by American author Jack London (1876ndash;1916) mdash; and the name of the book's eponymous character, a wild . The story takes place in Yukon Territory and the , Canada, during the 1890s and details White Fang's journey to domestication. It is a companion novel (and a thematic mirror) to London's best-known work, "", which is about a kidnapped, domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild. Much of "White Fang" is written from the viewpoint of the titular canine character, enabling London to explore how animals view their world and how they view humans. White Fang examines the violent world of wild animals and the equally violent world of humans. The book also explores complex themes including morality and redemption. "White Fang" has been translated into over 89 different languages and adapted for the motion pictures and sequels numerous times.

From School Library JournalGr 2-4ndash;London's novel portrays the interior life of mistreated part-wolf White Fang while exploring the fundamental nature of wild animals and the brutality inherent in vast Alaskan landscapes and inside men's hearts. It does not seem suitable reading material for primary-grade children, and Lutin's picture-book adaptation does not make an effective argument for the attempt. From the first page, in which White Fang's half-dog mother runs with her mate, One-Eye, Lutin falters; London revels in detailing natural impulses and viciousness, but this adaptation betrays his text with a ludicrous statement about the pair's love for one another. Later pages similarly fail to capture the spirit of London's harsh study of instinct and domestication. Guilloppe's visually arresting illustrations may appeal to some comic-book fans, and several spreads effectively use striking silhouettes to convey menace and action without gruesome detail. But overall, the digital artwork's strong lines and vivid colors feel disappointingly flat, lacking the nuance and delicate power of a natural landscape. While the adaptation glosses over many troubling and violent subplots, like initial owner Gray Beaver's descent into alcoholism and White Fang's repeated beatings and deadly dog fights, Lutin includes two gunshots. Many readers enjoy stories of nature, wilderness, and survival; books by Jean Craighead George, Gary Paulsen, and Roland Smith should more than suffice until they choose to explore Jack London's savage classics unchanged.ndash;Robbin E.

Ed Young, whose haunting illustrations of the wolf made his Caldecott- winning Lon Po Po (1989) so memorable, was well chosen as the illustrator for the Scribner Illustrated Classics edition of White Fang. Jack London's 1906 novel. As many will remember, London tells the story of a wolf-dog who endures great cruelty before he comes to know human kindness. The 12 pastel illustrations illuminate the text with their dramatic use of light and dark, sensitively delineated forms, and soft, subtle shades of color. A handsome new edition of a longtime favorite. Carolyn PhelanCopyright copy; American Library Association.
